The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 193, seeks to amend the current statutes regarding the Connecticut Paid Leave Authority. Specifically, it stipulates that any leave taken under the Connecticut Paid Leave Authority will be considered secondary to short-term disability insurance coverage when individuals apply for such insurance. This means that individuals must first utilize their short-term disability insurance benefits before they can access leave under the Connecticut Paid Leave Authority.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to clarify the relationship between the Connecticut Paid Leave Authority and short-term disability insurance. The intent of the bill is to ensure that short-term disability insurance is prioritized over paid leave benefits, thereby potentially affecting how individuals manage their leave and disability claims.
