This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to provide full-time employees of county boards of education with three months of paid leave following the birth of a child or the placement of a child in the home through adoption or foster care. This new provision is added to the existing personal leave regulations, ensuring that this leave is in addition to any other leave benefits the employee may already have.

The bill also updates the language in the personal leave section to include "maternity" and "paternity" as valid reasons for personal leave. Additionally, it modifies the numbering of the subsections to accommodate the new insertion. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the support for employees during significant life events related to family expansion.
