AN ACT MAKING THE CONNECTICUT PAID FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE INSURANCE PROGRAM AN OPT-IN PROGRAM.

SB 621 would change Connecticut's Paid Family and Medical Leave Program from automatic enrollment to an opt-in system. Currently, most workers are automatically enrolled and contribute to the program; this bill would require employees to actively choose to participate instead. Workers would need to sign up for coverage rather than being automatically enrolled. This directly affects Connecticut employees who would no longer be automatically covered under the program.
