Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Funding and rules for school paid leave

Each year, lawmakers fund the Public School Paid Maternity Leave Revolving Fund to pay for this leave. If the Legislature does not provide enough, the State Board of Education must use its budget to fully cover the cost. State education, career-tech, rehabilitation, corrections, and juvenile‑affairs boards can make rules to run the program.

Paid maternity leave for school employees

Beginning July 1, 2026, full‑time school employees in listed groups get six weeks of paid maternity leave. You must have at least one year with your employer and 1,250 hours worked in the past 12 months. Leave starts right after a birth or adoption, and an adopted child must be under age four. The six weeks is on top of pregnancy sick leave, so you keep both leave pools. You may use your own sick leave to add up to six more paid weeks; more than six extra needs a doctor’s note. You must give notice under the Family and Medical Leave (FMLA), and FMLA time runs at the same time. Taking this leave cannot reduce your pay or other benefits.
