Concerns bereavement leave for miscarriage and stillbirth.

This bill expands bereavement leave protections in New Jersey to include miscarriage and stillbirth. It allows employees to take family leave under the New Jersey Family Leave Act to grieve the loss of a child due to miscarriage or stillbirth. The bill also permits employees to take family temporary disability leave under the Temporary Disability Benefits Law for this purpose, provided the employee or their domestic partner/civil union partner is a biological parent or parent through a gestational carrier agreement. This change applies to all eligible employees covered by these laws, including those working for private employers and government entities.
