Constitutional amendment to provide for paid family medical leave

This proposed constitutional amendment (LR 303CA) would require all employers in Nebraska to provide paid family medical leave to employees. It mandates a minimum of six weeks of paid leave starting October 1, 2027, increasing to twelve weeks by October 1, 2028. The amendment must be approved by Nebraska voters in the November 2026 general election to become part of the state constitution. If approved, it would directly affect all Nebraska employers and their employees by establishing a state-wide paid leave requirement.
