paid leave in california?

Will California become the first state to offer the right to paid leave "to care for sick family members or a new child?" A legislative proposal there would set up an insurance fund in which employers and employees contribute, and could mean 12 weeks of leave per year at fifty-five percent of a person's salary from that fund. A large number of other states have been considering something similar. California may become the first state to actually offer such benefits.
