Committee introduces bill to repeal obsolete paid family‑leave study provisions
Summary
The committee voted to introduce LLS205674 to repeal obsolete statutory language related to a task force and actuarial study on a prospective paid family medical leave program enacted in 2019.
The Statutory Revision Committee approved introduction of a draft that repeals a now‑obsolete Part 3 of Article 13.3, Title 8, which created a task force and required an actuarial study for a proposed paid family and medical leave program.
Bridal Darling of the Office of Legislative Legal Services summarized the history: the 2019 enactment created a Department of Labor and Employment task force and required an actuarial study; the study completed its work in 2019 and the task force issued a final report in January 2020. Darling told the committee the task force is no longer active and the statutory language is obsolete.
Senator Rich moved LLS205674 and Representative Bradley seconded. Vice Chair Rich later offered an amendment to change the safety clause to a petition clause; the committee adopted the amendment and approved introduction with the amended clause. The committee assigned bipartisan sponsors and chose to start the bill in the Senate.
