AN ACT REDUCING THE EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTION FOR THE PAID FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE INSURANCE PROGRAM.

HB 6519 reduces the employee contribution rate for Connecticut's Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program from 0.5% to 0.4% of an employee's subject earnings. This change directly affects Connecticut employees who pay into the program, lowering their required contribution. The bill amends Section 31-49g of the general statutes to implement this rate reduction. It does not alter benefit amounts, eligibility, or employer obligations. The policy change simplifies the contribution structure without introducing new program features.
