Ohio needs a paid family and medical leave policy, which SB 396 would provide

Ohio stands on the brink of a significant move to support the well-being of its residents with Senate Bill 396, which proposes a paid family and medical leave policy. This bill is crucial for providing necessary support to families during times of illness or childbirth, directly addressing the long-standing need for such a policy in the state. Advocates, including former Cleveland health systems executive Fred M. DeGrandis, emphasize that this measure is vital for creating a healthier community and reducing economic strain on families during critical life events.
