    Governor McKee signs legislation to expand Paid Family Leave in Rhode Island

    Governor Dan McKee was joined by bill sponsors and other local advocates for a ceremonial bill signing to mark the expansion of paid family leave in Rhode Island through the Temporary Caregiver Insurance program (TCI). The legislation will raise the Temporary Disability Insurance and TCI wage replacement rates from the current 60% to 70% starting in January 2027, followed by 75% in January 2028.
