SB1202

Oklahoma SB1202 provides paid maternity, paternity, and adoption leave for eligible education employees.

Oklahoma SB1202 amends existing statutes to provide paid maternity, paternity, and adoption leave for eligible education employees. Eligible employees include those who have worked at least 1,250 hours in the preceding twelve-month period. The leave is in addition to sick leave and may be used immediately following the birth or adoption of the employee's child. School districts can establish leave-sharing programs, allowing employees to donate sick leave to others. The bill also appropriates funds for reimbursing agencies for expenses related to providing this leave.
