AN ACT CONCERNING EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PAID FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE PROGRAM.

SB 693 reduces Connecticut employees' mandatory contribution to the state's Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program from 0.5% to 0.4% of their subject earnings. This change directly affects employees covered by the program, lowering their payroll tax deduction for leave benefits. The bill amends Connecticut General Statute § 31-49g to implement this reduced contribution rate. The policy change simplifies the calculation by lowering the percentage without altering the program's structure or eligibility.
