Maryland Senate Democrats Push for Paid Family, Medical Leave

A hearing took place this month before the Senate Finance Committee sponsored by Sen. Antonio Hayes (D-Baltimore City). Before he went to the Senate session Monday night, Hayes stopped by a rally at Lawyers’ Mall near the State House to thank supporters and keep up the pressure to make sure the legislation passes.

Hayes said Thursday he and his wife are expecting the birth of their baby “any day now” and will probably use paid family leave for that.
