Complete·2/3/26

Clarifies that short-term disability benefits cannot be offset by Universal Paid Leave benefits in the District of Columbia.

The bill clarifies that short-term disability benefits cannot be offset by Universal Paid Leave benefits in the District of Columbia. It aims to strengthen the Department of Insurance, Securities, and Banking's enforcement authority to prevent interference with employees' rights to Universal Paid Leave benefits. The legislation addresses a loophole where some employers, particularly those based outside the District, were not subject to the District's anti-offsetting law.
