or information relating to preparation for or participation in any judicial or administrative immi- gration proceeding, as a condition of providing sick leave or paid prenatal personal leave pursuant to this section.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends labor law to add paid sick leave for immigration judicial or administrative proceedings involving the employee or family member (new subdivision 4(a)(iv)), and protects related information from employer disclosure requirements. This facilitates employee participation in immigration processes by reducing financial barriers to time off, which restricts the scope of state/local immigration enforcement by supporting immigrants in legal proceedings.
