“The time has come for New Mexico to get this bill passed and join the eleven other states with paid family and medical leave. We’ve worked together with the business community to ensure that their concerns over timing and the impact on small businesses have been addressed, and now have a proposal I believe will benefit everyone. With paid family and medical leave in place, more people will stay employed, productivity and workplace safety will improve, and better economic security for more workers and communities throughout the state will come as a result,”
