Bill to Repeal Family Leave Insurance Law

A bill (A2376) introduced in the Assembly on March 5 would repeal the Family Leave Insurance Law and would deposit money from the Family Temporary Disability Leave Account into the unemployment compensation insurance fund, which is currently insolvent. This bill comes on the heels of Governor Chris Christie’s announcement of a multi-step plan to rescue the insolvent account (see the March 2010 issue of the New Jersey eAuthority).
