On July 10, 2024, the Maryland Department of Labor’s (MDOL) issued a second version of “draft” regulations to implement Maryland’s paid family and medical leave insurance (FAMLI) law. Applicable to all employers with Maryland employees and starting July 1, 2026, the FAMLI law will provide most employees in Maryland with 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave, with the possibility of an additional 12 weeks of paid parental leave, as we have previously detailed in our E-lerts from April 12, 2023 and April 12, 2022. The MDOL issued a first draft of the regulations earlier this year, and we discussed the items of interest or significance in a January 30, 2024 E-lert. Subsequently, amendments to the FAMLI law were made during the 2024 General Assembly session (which we covered in our April 10, 2024 E-lert). And now we highlight the more significant developments in the latest version of the draft regulations.
