SB 2018-235: Ensuring Cancer Pay Act (Debating)

[Wells]

I certainly support the idea behind this bill, but I would like to see it go further if that is possible. Here we see that paid is guaranteed for workers with cancer, but there are other illnesses that might cause someone to be out of work for some periods of time. Why shouldn't they get paid?

Basically, I'm saying that while this bill is a step in the right direction, paid sick leave for everyone would be something even more amazing.

What is a "serious disease"? You referenced that in section 2 but there is nothing differentiating serious diseases from ones that aren't serious. Except the word "serious".
