- Family temporary disability leave benefits are entirely employee-funded through payroll deductions and cover absences for caring for ill family members or newborns
- Resolution argues that taxing these benefits places unfair financial burdens on individuals already struggling with limited income due to unemployment, illness, injury, or caring for family
- Copies of the resolution would be sent to the President, Vice President, congressional leadership, and all New Jersey members of Congress
