Cuomo Vetoes Bill Allowing Paid Bereavement Leave
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday vetoed a bill that would have allowed workers to take up to 12 weeks of paid leave after the death of a family member.
The bill expanding the state’s paid family leave law was opposed by the Business Council and other business groups. The council said it would have been too burdensome for employers, especially small businesses.
The legislation was sponsored by Republican Sen. Rich Funke and former Democratic Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle, who’s now a congressman. Funke had a son who died in 2001 and Morelle lost a daughter to cancer in 2017.
