An Act providing for paid leave time for a pregnancy loss or related reason.
SB 1059 would require employers to provide paid leave for employees experiencing a pregnancy loss, such as miscarriage or stillbirth, or related medical reasons. This bill would directly affect workers in the state who have a pregnancy loss by allowing them to take time off work with pay for this specific health event. The key provision establishes a new paid leave entitlement separate from existing family or medical leave policies. The bill was referred to the Labor & Industry committee on October 16, 2025, for further review.
