HB 2188: Relating to repeal of the paid family leave benefits program.

The bill requires unspent funds from the Paid Family Leave Insurance Fund to be redirected to the State Highway Fund for the Interstate 5 Rose Quarter and I-205 Abernethy Bridge projects. It also removes related provisions from Oregon law, including sections governing benefit calculations and employer contributions. The repeal takes effect upon the bill's passage, ending the program's operation.
