Summary

Extends, under certain conditions, the family leave period under state law, for up to eight additional weeks for employees who are unable to perform their employment duties due to the birth of a child who is required to stay in a neonatal intensive care unit. Amends the definition of "because of sex" in section 3781, HRS, that governs discriminatory employment practices, to include neonatal care. Requires the Civil Rights Commission to amend its administrative rules to ensure that neonatal care is included as a "related medical condition" wherever the phrase "pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical condition" or any similar phrase is used.
