AB 2054 — Paid family leave: covered active duty

California expands paid family leave for military 'covered active duty'

It expands the definition of "covered active duty" for paid family leave purposes to include training, nonforeign deployment, and state active duty, effective upon the claims-system changes needed to implement it or by July 1, 2028, whichever comes first.
