Require paid sick leave in Montana

This bill (LC 1606) proposed requiring Montana employers to provide paid sick leave to employees. It would have directly affected workers in Montana by mandating that employers offer a minimum number of paid sick days per year for health needs or other qualifying reasons. The key provision would have required businesses above a certain size to establish this benefit, though specific details like the number of days or eligibility thresholds weren't provided in the available context. The bill was drafted in 2024 but was placed on hold and ultimately died in the legislative process in May 2025, meaning it never became law.
