Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill expands the definition of "family leave" to include bereavement for various pregnancy-related losses, unsuccessful adoptions, and failed fertility treatments. It also clarifies the duration of leave for bereavement, allowing for up to 21 days if no other leave is available or 7 days if other leave is applicable. These changes aim to provide more comprehensive support for employees experiencing significant personal loss.
