A 1664 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to dysmenorrhea and use of sick leave

This New York state bill (A 1664) allows employees to use their existing accrued sick leave for painful menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea). It directly affects all employees covered by sick leave policies under New York's labor law, including those working for state agencies, local governments, schools, and private employers. The bill permits using sick leave in full or partial days for this condition, clarifying that it does not create new paid leave but uses existing sick leave benefits (excluding workers' comp or insurance). It explicitly protects existing collective bargaining agreements and takes effect 120 days after enactment.
