family and medical leave; coverage.

Arizona's SB 1410 creates a state-run family and medical leave insurance program, effective January 2028, for eligible workers who meet specific wage requirements. It provides up to 26 weeks of paid leave for childbirth, recovery from serious health conditions, or 24 weeks for caring for a family member with a serious health condition, pregnancy, or qualifying military exigencies. Benefits equal 90% of a worker's average weekly wage (capped at half the state average) and include "safe leave" for domestic violence, sexual violence, or stalking, covering medical care, legal services, or relocation. The program applies to most private-sector employees and self-employed individuals who elect coverage, administered by the Arizona Industrial Commission.
