S 9427 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Provides for paid family leave after a stillbirth

This bill amends the state workers' compensation law to explicitly include recovery after a stillbirth as a valid reason for taking family leave. It directly affects employees who experience a stillbirth by ensuring they are entitled to paid time off to recover from the loss. The change adds a new category to the existing definition of family leave, which currently covers caring for sick family members, bonding with a newborn, and military-related exigencies. The law will apply to insurance policies and contracts issued on or after January 1st of the year following its enactment.
