New Jersey is moving a step closer to passing family leave legislation. The controversial legislation passed a Senate Committee on Monday by a vote of 8-6. If it succeeds the act would provide six weeks of paid leave to care for a newborn or a seriously ill family member. A tax on workers salaries would fund the leave pay of up to a maximum of $524 per week.
