absences due to an illness of or injury to the employee's child, as defined
in section 181.940, subdivision 4, adult child, spouse, sibling, parent,
grandparent, or stepparent, for such reasonable periods of time
as the employee's attendance with the child may be necessary, on the
same terms upon which the employee is able to use sick leave benefits
for the employee's own illness or injury. This section applies only to personal sick
leave benefits payable to the employee from the employer's general assets.
(b) An employer may limit the use of
personal sick leave benefits provided by the employer for absences due to an
illness of or injury to the employee's adult child, spouse, sibling, parent,

to the illness or injury of a child, as defined in section 181.940, subdivision
4.

(d) For the purpose of this section,
"child" includes a stepchild and a biological, adopted, and foster
child.
(e) This section does not prevent an
employer from providing greater sick leave benefits than are provided for under
this section.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2013, and
