There probably should be two doctors who have to sign off on the leave.

That could be tricky in our more remote communities, but I am not opposed to it Representative.


This merely amends the Midwest Pro-Workers and Pro-Growth Act passed by the Althing earlier this year.

I like the giving the option of more days to the father, but I do not support reducing the number of days by off by 75. 225 is a good number.

I'm undecided at the moment, and I'm open up to debate.

225 is excessive, that is nearly 2/3rds of the year off. I do believe that Family Leave is important, however, I disagree with the length.

You're right. Maybe shortening the length is a good idea.

Cut the length of time to 150 days? I can live with that.

I will not vote for this act, we should not be taking benefits away from people.

I can't support this. I like the idea of giving more paid days to the other parent, but this revision cuts off 2 1/2 months of well-deserved parental leave that's important to help the parents get adjusted in their new lives. It gives more unwielding power to employers to tell parents when and when they can't take time off and just reduces the time by too much.

Therefore, I'll veto this if it makes it to my desk.

With all due respect, this version of the law still allows for 5 months of paid leave. I believe that this is still very generous. Many countries around the world do not have this long paid leave on the books. Now I think if we want, adding back the additional 2 1/2 months, but that time being unpaid. I could accept that compromise.

So the only change in your amendment is changing the number of days back to 225 days, right? I'm undecided, but lean towards supporting this. I also have to say that 225 is a bit excessive.
