Start Date

End Date

Description
To date, three states (California, New Jersey, and Rhode Island) have passed paid family and medical leave legislation and are using their existing Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) systems to implement these new laws. Momentum is building across the nation, particularly in New England, as many states in our region have legislation pending or under consideration. This panel of state legislators and coalition leaders will discuss the successes and challenges each have faced in their own state as they champion paid family and medical leave insurance legislation and consider models other than TDI.
Moderator:
State Representative Mary Stuart Gile (NH)
Panelists:
Gayle Goldin, State Senator, Rhode Island
Karen Spilka, State Senator, Massachusetts
Beth Bye, State Senator, Connecticut
