I recently had a miscarriage at 9 weeks and was denied bereavement leave. This experience was devastating, and the inability to be granted bereavement leave only added to my grief. Bill A3505 aims to provide employees in New Jersey with bereavement leave following a miscarriage, recognizing the profound emotional impact such a loss can have.

Currently, there is no mandatory provision for bereavement leave after a miscarriage in New Jersey. This bill ensures that individuals who suffer this tragic loss are given the time they need to grieve and begin healing without the added stress of work obligations.

By signing this petition, you will help bring attention to this important issue and support those who need time off during one of life's most challenging moments. Please sign this petition to urge lawmakers to approve Bill A3505.
