Act No. 249
Summary
The act expands paid parental leave to any state employee who holds any portion of a full‑time equivalent position, including staff at state‑run colleges and technical schools. Employees who give birth or experience a stillbirth are entitled to six weeks of leave at 100% of base pay; employees with other qualifying events (adoption, fostering, or a co‑parent’s birth) receive two‑four weeks at the same pay rate. Leave must be used within twelve months, is forfeited if not taken, and runs concurrently with federal FMLA without reducing accrued leave balances.
