Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper has signed into law the “Family Care Act” (“FCA”), expanding coverage of job-protected medical leave to include an employee’s partner in a civil union or domestic partner. The FCA will take effect on August 7, 2013. However, if a referendum petition is filed against it, the FCA would not become effective unless approved by the electorate in the November 2014 general election.
