MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)   BILL NUMBER: A2880 SPONSOR: Rajkumar
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to providing for paid family leave following a stillbirth   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill provides for paid family leave following the stillbirth of a child.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one amends the workers' compensation law to include "recovery after a stillbirth" as a qualifying condition for family leave. Section two establishes the effective date.   DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE): Click here to enter text.   JUSTIFICATION: According to the Center for Disease Control, stillbirth affects about 1 in 160 births, and each year about 24,000 babies are stillborn in the United States. The loss of a baby due to a stillbirth remains a tragic reality for many and takes a serious mental and physical toll on an individual and on a family. This legislation would amend the workers' compensation law to include the birth of a stillborn child as a qualify- ing condition for family leave in New York State. Allowing individuals who lose a child to take time to grieve and come to terms with a life- altering loss is critical to the healing process.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the first of January following the first of September next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.
