RELATING TO PAID FAMILY LEAVE.

Establishes phased implementation: program setup by January 1, 2028; benefits begin January 1, 2029; effective date July 1, 3000 (likely placeholder requiring amendment).

Creates a dedicated family and medical leave trust fund financed by employer payroll contributions (50% for employers with fewer than 5 employees, 100% for employers with 5+ employees) and self-employed individuals (50%).

Expands eligibility to include domestic partners and victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking; requires covered individuals to accumulate at least 8 hours of benefits before receiving payments.

Adds comprehensive definitions for 'domestic partner' including those with mutual interdependence factors or registered partnerships; expands 'family member' to include domestic partners and their children.

Requires employers to provide written notice of benefits rights to employees upon hiring and annually; mandates poster displays in multiple languages including Ilocano, Japanese, Tagalog, and others.

Sets benefit duration at 12 weeks for family leave and 26 weeks for medical leave per benefit year; benefits calculated at 90% of wages up to 50% of state average weekly wage, declining to 55% for higher wages.

Repeals chapter 392 (temporary disability insurance) and sections 378-71 (health care provider definition) to consolidate leave provisions under the new insurance program.

Prohibits retaliatory personnel actions against employees who exercise leave rights; requires employers to maintain health benefits during medical leave and restore employees to equivalent positions after leave.
