RICHMOND, Va. – A Virginia Senate committee killed legislation on Wednesday to require employers to provide up to two weeks paid sick leave for workers who need to quarantine due to COVID-19 exposure or infection, according to The Richmond Times-Dispatch. The Senate Commerce and Labor Committee voted 14-1 to not pass the paid leave requirement during the General Assembly’s special session to address Virginia’s coronavirus public health emergency. Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-Alexandria) was the only one who voted against the motion to kill the bill. Elizabeth Guzman (D-Prince William), would require businesses with more than 25 employees to give two weeks of paid leave to workers who have COVID-19 or need to take care of family members who contract it. “We have no business placing additional stress on our businesses at this period of time,” said Norment.
