"Employees in California who are victims of violence -- and their family members who are victims -- now have expanded leave protections when they seek legal, medical, mental health, or safety planning services. The new law, Assembly Bill (AB) 406, which Governor Gavin Newsom signed on October 1, 2025, and which took effect immediately, prohibits discrimination and retaliation and clarifies employer obligations, documentation options, and confidentiality."

"On September 25, 2025, the New York City Council sent to the mayor a bill (Int. No. 0780-2024) that would amend the Earned Safe and Sick Time Act (ESSTA) to incorporate the requirements under the New York City Temporary Schedule Change Law.

"Effective June 1, 2026, Illinois's Neonatal Intensive Care Leave Act (NICLA) provides unpaid leave for parents with a child in a NICU, applicable to employers with sixteen or more employees. NICLA leave is separate from FMLA leave and offers additional protections for employees with newborns in intensive care. NICLA prohibits employers from retaliating against workers who take leave, assert their right to take leave, or otherwise support others who do so."
