The issue

This archive entry has been revised to remove unsupported case references and an inaccurate statement about paid care leave. The 2024 legislative period included changes later taking effect under the Fourth Bureaucracy Relief Act. The date of adoption must be distinguished from the date a provision begins to apply.
