Overview: Bill Number: SD 1113, Title: An Act to provide paid family and medical leave to all educators, Status: proposed bill, Introduced: November 29, 2025
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to provide paid family and medical leave benefits to all educators in the state, including teachers, administrators, and support staff. The intent is to support educators in balancing their professional and personal responsibilities, especially during times of family emergencies or medical needs.
Key Provisions:
- Requires all school districts to offer a minimum of 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave per year for eligible employees
- Covers leave for the birth or adoption of a child, personal illness or injury, caring for a family member with a serious health condition, and other qualifying events
- Employees would be eligible after working for the district for at least 12 months and a minimum of 1,250 hours
- Establishes a state-administered fund to help districts cover the costs of providing paid leave
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- All public school educators, including teachers, administrators, and support staff, would be eligible for the paid leave benefits
- This would help educators take time off for family or medical needs without risking their financial security
- School districts would need to adjust budgets and policies to accommodate the new paid leave requirements
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The bill has been introduced in the state legislature and is currently under consideration
- If passed, the paid family and medical leave program would need to be implemented by school districts within 12 months of the bill's effective date
