Modifying shared leave provisions to authorize shared leave for victims of a hate crime and those whose absence is due to immigration enforcement actions against the employee or the employee's relative.

Summary

The bill adds two new reasons state employees can use shared leave: being a victim of a hate crime (or related domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking) and having an absence caused by immigration enforcement against the employee or a household member. It also creates a verification process that lets employers confirm the need for leave while keeping immigration status information confidential. The changes apply to all state agencies and take effect on June 11 2026.
