Requires private employers that provide paid family and medical leave to provide equivalent leave for adoption and fostering

Summary

The bill mandates that any private company in Missouri that already provides paid family or medical leave must extend the same paid leave benefits to employees who adopt or foster a child. This includes leave for the child's birth, placement, and bonding, and must be offered under the same terms as existing parental leave. The measure aims to ensure families formed through adoption or fostering receive comparable support.
