Summary
If enacted, this bill would create a paid family and medical leave insurance program in Wisconsin, funded by employee and employer contributions, providing wage replacement for employees taking leave for their own serious health condition, to care for a family member, or due to a family member's active duty. It would expand the current state family and medical leave law to cover more employers and allow local governments to adopt ordinances requiring additional leave benefits. The bill also grants rule-making authority to state agencies and includes an appropriation for implementation.
