WA SB6199

Amends RCW 50A.10.030 to modify how employer and employee contributions are distributed between family leave and medical leave premiums in Washington's Paid Family and Medical Leave program in response to federal tax guidance.

Changes the employee deduction limit for medical leave premiums from 45% to 100% of the premium required, while maintaining the 40% employee deduction limit for family leave premiums.

Maintains the existing overall premium split between employers and employees, only adjusting the internal allocation between family and medical leave components.

Employers may still elect to pay all or any portion of the employee's share of premiums for either family or medical leave benefits.

Employers with fewer than 50 employees remain exempt from paying the employer portion of premiums but may voluntarily participate to qualify for assistance under RCW 50A.24.030.
