Exempts daycare facility and childcare facility employers from providing for COVID-19 sick leave
This bill exempts daycare and childcare facility employers from the requirement to provide paid sick leave for employees affected by COVID-19 quarantine or isolation orders. It amends a 2020 law (Chapter 25) to add a specific exemption for these employers, removing their obligation to cover such leave under existing sick leave rules. The exemption is temporary, set to expire on the same date as the original 2020 provisions it modifies. This directly affects daycare and childcare facility employers, not other businesses or employees.
