Texas SB2072 establishes a paid parental leave program for certain employees, administered by the Texas Workforce Commission, with employer.

Texas SB2072 creates a paid parental leave program for employees who have worked at least 540 hours in the past six months or full-time for three months. Eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of paid leave for the birth or adoption of a child. The leave amount is based on the employee's wage, with different percentages applied to different wage brackets. Employers must contribute 0.15% of wages to the Texas Family Fund, except for those with self-funded leave policies. The Texas Workforce Commission will manage the fund, with the comptroller administering it.
