Relates to disability benefits for pregnancy loss

This bill expands New York's workers' compensation program to include disability benefits for pregnancy loss. It directly affects employees covered by workers' compensation who experience pregnancy loss, ensuring they qualify for financial support during recovery. The key provision amends the definition of "disability" to explicitly include pregnancy loss and sets a specific benefit rate: 67% of the employee's average weekly wage, capped at 67% of the state average weekly wage. This change applies to all new or renewed policies issued after the effective date, providing concrete financial protection without altering other disability benefit calculations.
