Dan Cox on Families & Children

 

 


Opposed family leave bill as hurting small business

SB275: Establishing the Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program to provide benefits to individuals who take leave from employment.

Summary by Maryland Matters (4/9/22): SB275 will offer Marylanders 12 weeks of partially paid leave each year to care for themselves or a close family member after a serious health issue, and up to 24 weeks of paid leave for new parents who also experience serious health issues.

Veto message : "Family leave that is flexible for both the employee and employer is important to improve the quality of life in the state. However, this legislation is backed by no actuarial analysis, no viable plan for implementation, and leaves the smallest of small businesses vulnerable to insurmountable regulatory burdens."

Legislative outcome: Vetoed by Governor Larry Hogan on Apr/8/2022; Veto Overridden by House 94-44-3 on Apr/9/2022; State Rep. Dan Cox voted NO; Veto Overridden by Senate 30-16-1 on Apr/9/2022.
