Summary

The bill amends New York’s workers’ compensation law to recognize menopause as a disability and creates a new paid leave entitlement of five days each month for eligible workers. It also expands the definition of qualifying family leave for military families and directs the Department of Financial Services to consider these changes when setting paid family‑leave contribution caps. The measure aims to give workers experiencing menopause symptoms more job protection and support.
