A Senate bill is making its way through the Texas Legislature that would significantly change things for parents working for the state. Under current law, parents are not granted any paid parental leave. Instead, state employees must use sick or vacation time, as well as unpaid leave under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act. Senate Bill 222 would grant state employees who are parents of newborns and adoptive parents six weeks of paid leave. Via The Texas Newsroom #PaidParentalLeave #Texas #SenateBill #txlege
