Expands the definition of "family leave" to include persons recovering from a pregnancy loss.

New York Assembly Bill A05319 amends the workers' compensation law to expand the definition of "family leave" to include persons recovering from a pregnancy loss. This change allows employees who have experienced a pregnancy loss at or after twenty weeks of gestation to take leave for recovery. The bill ensures that employees who would have been eligible for family leave benefits under other circumstances are not deemed ineligible due to the timing of their pregnancy loss. This act will take effect ninety days after it becomes law.
