Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has legalized a bill that mandates paid leave for new parents employed by the state. After three years of deliberation and almost unequivocal bipartisan support, the law signed on May 27 marked a significant stride towards family welfare recognition. The new legislation provisions for four weeks of paid maternity leave and one week of paid paternity leave. Moreover, it also allows four weeks of paid leave for state employees who are new adoptive parents. This long-awaited law is a move towards aligning Iowa with other states across the country, where such policies are already in place.
