Healthy Families Act
In my post on January 3 on predictions about how presidential politics will impact the workplace this year, I noted how some of the candidates stand on the proposed federal Healthy Families Act.

Check out Jon Hyman’s blog for a detailed review of the Ohio proposal. If the federal act doesn’t gain enough traction to become law, we may see state legislatures do what Ohio’s is doing now.
