I'll say first that I don't support this, but there is something in here that would benefit us childfree folks.

Current federal law mandates you can keep your job if you need to take time off from work to care for yourself or a loved one if they are sick or just gave birth. It does not, however, mandate you should be paid.
When a family member is sick or a new baby is born, employees could then request benefits from the state.
Obviously the wording of the actual bill could be different, but it seems to apply to FMLA or sick leave as well.
