Elko County votes to oppose state bill expanding paid family leave for public employers
Summary
After staff estimated a roughly $400,000 annual fiscal impact for Elko County, commissioners voted to direct staff to send a letter opposing AB 388, a bill to require paid family leave after 90 days of employment.
County staff briefed commissioners on bills under the 83rd Nevada Legislature, highlighting AB 388, which would require paid family leave for qualifying employees after 90 days on the job and would not force employees to use accrued leave. Staff's fiscal estimate put the county cost near $400,000 annually based on historical leave usage.
Commissioners debated the bill's policy aims and fiscal effects. One commissioner urged sending a letter asking the governor to veto the bill if enacted; another asked staff to prepare a formal letter conveying the county's concerns. The board voted to direct staff to send a letter opposing AB 388, and the motion carried by voice vote.
