Paid family and medical leave program made optional for both employers and employees provision

Summary

The bill lets any employer withdraw from the state‑run paid family and medical leave system by filing a form with the commissioner, and they may change that choice only once a year. Employees of those employers can still join the program as if they were self‑employed, and any employee can also opt out individually, also limited to one change per 12 months. This adds flexibility but could reduce coverage for workers.
