Maddy summaryHB 2188 repeals Oregon's paid family and medical leave benefits program, eliminating the state-run insurance system that provided wage replacement for qualifying workers. This directly affects workers who would have received benefits for childbirth, adoption, or caring for ill family members, as well as employers who contributed to the 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.
