New parents working for the state of Iowa will receive guaranteed paid leave under a bill signed into law by Gov. Kim Reynolds, enacting a benefit that supporters across the political spectrum said was an important step toward supporting families. “After working on it for three years, the families first bill is finally state law," Reynolds said in a statement. "We are giving state employees paid parental leave, joining 24 other states and the federal government. This bill will provide the crucial time needed for employees to bond with their newborn children.” #KimReynolds #IowaPolitics #PaidParentalLeave #Parents #Government #Parenting
