Summary
The bill amends Delaware’s paid‑leave statute to specify three possible dates when an employee’s adoption leave may begin: when the child is placed for adoption, when the employee files a petition, or when the adoption is completed. It applies to full‑time and part‑time staff of public schools and vocational districts, ensuring they can use the leave without fear of job loss.
