What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under this bill, if an employer requires an employee to isolate at home due to a concern that the employee may have been exposed to or infected with COVID-19 while working (medical isolation) and the employee receives a negative test for COVID-19 in the first seven days of the medical isolation, the employer may not require the employee to use paid leave for those seven days. The bill also requires the employer to pay the employee at his or her regular rate of pay for those seven days. The bill does not require an employer that does not otherwise offer paid sick leave to provide paid sick leave benefits beyond what is required under the bill for employer-mandated medical isolation.
