Summary

The bill would mandate that every Kansas employer provide each pregnant employee up to 20 hours of paid leave per year for pregnancy‑related medical care, paid at the employee’s regular rate or at least the state minimum wage. It also protects employees from retaliation, requires job reinstatement after leave, and allows employers to offer more generous leave. The measure aims to improve access to prenatal health services without creating new funding obligations.
