NJ Becomes 2nd State To Mandate Paid Family Leave For Homosexual Partners
New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine (D) Friday signed broad legislation that mandates paid family leave for same-sex partners - making the state the second after California to have such a law.
Under the New Jersey law, workers can apply for up to six weeks off to care for a newborn or newly adopted child, or a sick parent, child, spouse or partner, and collect up to two-thirds of their pay, up to a maximum of $524 a week.
