   14  policies.—The Department of Management Services shall develop a

   24  family responsibilities. The model rule must provide for the
   25  granting of leave for up to 12 months for an employee who has a
   26  family member with a serious health condition as defined by the
   27  Family and Medical Leave Act and its implementing regulations.
   28         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2013.
