Hawaii SB407 expands family leave and temporary disability benefits for parents with newborns in neonatal intensive care units (NICU).

Hawaii SB407 aims to support parents with newborns in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) by expanding family leave and temporary disability benefits. The bill allows parents to receive up to twelve weeks of additional family leave if their child is in the NICU for more than eight weeks, provided they provide kangaroo care or express breast milk. It also exempts parents from temporary disability benefit eligibility requirements if they are unable to work due to their child's NICU stay.
