Sen. Maria Elena Durazo has introduced #SB1149! 🎉

SB1149 would update CA’s bereavement leave law so workers can take protected time off following the loss of a chosen or extended family member: because family looks different for everyone, and our laws should reflect that.

California caregiving laws recognize chosen and extended family relationships. It’s time for #BereavementLeave to do the same.

#SB1149, introduced today by Senator Maria Elena Durazo would allow workers to take bereavement leave to grieve for a chosen or extended family member. 🫂
