↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 60%
Creates a specific eligibility pathway for family leave tied to pregnancy loss after 20 weeks, which functions as an exception to standard bonding leave rules that require a live child.
to recover from a pregnancy loss at or after twenty weeks of gestation if the employee who experienced such pregnancy loss would have been eligible to take family leave benefits under paragraph (b) of this subdivision but is deemed ineligible for family leave benefits under such paragraph as a result of such pregnancy loss
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the definition of "family leave" in workers' compensation law to explicitly include recovery from pregnancy loss at or after 20 weeks gestation, expanding access to family leave benefits in cases where a live birth does not occur. This ties directly to abortion-related topics via pregnancy loss provisions but does not address bans, funding, or other listed subtopics. No provisions relate to firearms, transgender issues, or immigration enforcement.
