AN ACT CONCERNING STATE EMPLOYEES' PARTICIPATION IN THE PAID FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE INSURANCE PROGRAM.

SB 227 requires state employees to contribute a percentage of their earnings to the Family and Medical Leave Insurance Trust Fund. This bill amends statutes (31-49e to 31-49t) to include state employees in Connecticut’s existing Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program. The key provision mandates employee contributions, which would fund the program’s benefits for eligible state workers. It directly affects all state employees by adding them to the program’s contribution structure, aligning their participation with the current framework for private-sector employees.
