Amid opposition from businesses and Republicans, Democratic senators have renewed efforts to make New Jersey the third state to let workers take paid leave to care for either a sick relative or new child. The Senate budget committee pushed forward a measure to let employees take up to six weeks off with pay, which clears the bill for consideration by the state Senate. Leaves under the law would be supported through a charge against weekly wages that would cost workers an estimated $33 per year.
