DE HB283

Amends § 1333 of Delaware Code to provide unpaid leave for full-time school district employees with pregnancy complications or prolonged/extended hospitalization during pregnancy or immediately after childbirth.

Guarantees at least 6 weeks of unpaid leave following newborn discharge from hospital, even after Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) benefits are exhausted.

Applies to mothers with pregnancy complications, extended antepartum or postpartum hospitalization, monoamniotic twins, or multiples of 3 or more children.

Clarifies that school district employees receive the same unpaid leave protections previously granted to full-time state employees under House Bill No. 64 in the 149th General Assembly.
