Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits a city, village, town, or county from enacting and administering an ordinance requiring an employer to provide an employee with leave from employment for certain family or medical reasons. This bill eliminates that prohibition.

For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
