What action should the state take on paid family leave?
Background
The state is debating a universal paid family leave program that would provide paid time off for employees to care for new children or sick family members. Supporters argue it would improve quality of life and worker retention. Opponents believe it could increase costs for businesses and hurt economic competitiveness.
Options
- Implement a universal paid family leave program
- Maintain the current system without mandating paid family leave
- Create a paid family leave program funded jointly by employers and employees
- Pilot a paid leave program in key industries before statewide implementation
