In April 2022, the Maryland General Assembly passed mandatory statewide paid leave legislation and subsequently voted to override then Governor Larry Hogan’s veto of the bill. NFIB strongly opposed this legislation and supported Gov. Hogan’s veto, advocating consistently against the proposal in Annapolis and in the news media. 

Now, the new mandate goes into effect next year, and the state is in the process of implementing the new FAMLI (Family And Medical Leave Insurance) program. NFIB is working with members to provide the state’s Department of Labor with constructive feedback that will ensure the program is a success for employees and employers.
