Speaker 1: The report Civil Rights, Utilities, Economic Development and Arts Committee Agenda in five Council Vote 119 144 relating to city implements. The committee recommends the bill pass.
Speaker 2: Councilmember Herbold.
Speaker 1: Thank you. So let's see here. Item five is a piece of legislation related to the passage of the state, passage of Initiative 1433. This piece of legislation is one of two. We're moving forward this particular piece, because it relates only to the city's own employees, the folks who who work for city government. In November 2016, Washington State Voters passed Initiative 1433, providing for certain labor standards, including paid sick leave for all employees. This legislation incorporates the new state sick leave requirements into the city's own sick leave benefits program, allowing use of sick leave to care for a grandchild with an illness or an injury. Reinstatement of sick leave if returning to work after a separation from work and removal of the work study exemption. In essence, the harmonization legislation brings Seattle standards in these particular areas up to the standards that the voters of Washington State approved this year last year.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Councilman Herbold. Any further comments or questions? Please call the rule on the passage of the bill.
