State employees; add stillbirth as a qualifying event for parental leave

Summary

The bill changes Georgia’s personnel code so that a stillbirth counts as a qualifying life event for parental leave. It applies to full‑time state workers and full‑time employees of local education agencies, giving them the same leave rights as for a live birth, adoption, or foster placement. The change aims to provide comparable support to employees experiencing a stillbirth.
