COMMITTEE ACTION:
SF 476—Adoptive Employment Leave
SF
476 requires an employer to treat an employee who chooses to adopt a child
in the same manner as an employee who is the biological parent of a new born
child for the purposes of employment policies, benefits and protections for the
first year after adoption. An amendment was adopted in committee. It clarifies that
the bill is referring to adopting a child up to age 18. Also, language was
adopted stating that an employee is not entitled to disability leave without a
qualifying disability under the employer’s disability polices.
