Bill to expand paid parental leave in Ohio would impact virtually no families

(snip)

Senate Bill 360 proposes to expand parental leave to twelve weeks for government-employee parents of newly born and adopted children. Parents could also get six weeks of paid leave if their child is stillborn. There would be no more two-week waiting period to get the benefits, as well.

Although some parents are happy to see an increase, the bill didn’t live up to the expectations of other parents.

News 5 analysis of state and census data shows only around .06% of workforce-aged Ohioans will actually be able to utilize these six to 12 weeks of family leave. Right now, only specific state workers, such as legislative employees and those in Executive-branch offices, would qualify.

And Mikey blabbers on about making Ohio “a great place to raise your family”. Typical Repugnant to brag about a policy that benefits almost no one!
