Did You Miss NFIB's Virtual Event on the New Maryland Paid Leave Law? Here is the Recording.

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. On Thursday, July 6th, NFIB hosted a virtual event on the law, “Family & Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) for Maryland Small Businesses.” State Director Mike O’Halloran gave an informative recap about the FAMLI program, its implementation process, and what small business owners can expect going forward. Highlights of the discussion

NFIB members have the exclusive opportunity to inform the Maryland Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) FAMLI division on the impact this program will have on small business through participating in our Ad Hoc committee.
The goal of this committee is to create a successful program that works for employees and employers alike via a multi-industry perspective.
Being a member of our committee is a small-time commitment, amounting to approximately one-hour virtual meetings every other week over the period of only a few weeks.

WHAT YOU CAN DO Join NFIB Maryland’s FAMLI Ad Hoc Committee today! Please e-mail Grassroots Manager Julianna Rauf indicating your interest in participating. There are only a few seats left, so join now to be considered to help influence a FAMLI program that better aligns with Maryland’s small business community. Don’t worry if you are not a FAMLI expert; your business experience is valuable in itself, and all we need is your perspective and your voice!
