 2 law, as added by section 2 of part SS of chapter 54 of the laws of 2016,
 3 is amended to read as follows:
 4 15. "Family leave" shall mean any leave taken by an employee from
 5 work: (a) to participate in providing care, including physical or
 6 psychological care, for a family member of the employee made necessary
 7 by a serious health condition of the family member including bereavement
 8 upon the death of such family member; or (b) to bond with the employee's
 9 child during the first twelve months after the child's birth, or the
 10 first twelve months after the placement of the child for adoption or
 11 foster care with the employee; or (c) because of any qualifying exigency
 12 as interpreted under the family and medical leave act, 29 U.S.C.S §
 13 2612(a)(1)(e) and 29 C.F.R. S.825.126(a)(1)-(8), arising out of the fact
 14 that the spouse, domestic partner, child, or parent of the employee is
 15 on active duty (or has been notified of an impending call or order to
 16 active duty) in the armed forces of the United States; or (d) leave
 17 taken for the purposes of bereavement due to the death of a family

 6 added by section 6 of part SS of chapter 54 of the laws of 2016, is
 7 amended to read as follows:

 10 employer with not less than thirty days notice before the date the leave
 11 is to begin, of the employee's intention to take family leave under this
 12 article, except that if the date of the birth or placement requires
 13 leave to begin in less than thirty days, the employee shall provide such
 14 notice as is practicable. In any case in which the necessity for family
 15 leave is foreseeable based on planned medical treatment, the employee
 16 shall provide the employer with not less than thirty days notice, before
 17 the date the leave is to begin, of the employees intention to take fami-
 18 ly leave under this article, except that if the date of the treatment

 20 provide such notice as is practicable. In the case of family leave due
 21 to bereavement notice shall be provided as soon as practicable.
