Voorstel van wet van het lid Smeulders tot wijziging van de Wet arbeid en zorg (Wet Langdurend Zorgverlof)

This is a private member's bill (initiatiefwetgeving) introduced by Tweede Kamer member Smeulders to amend the Dutch Work and Care Act (Wet arbeid en zorg). The bill concerns long-term care leave (langdurend zorgverlof), a statutory right that lets employees take time off work to care for a seriously ill family member or someone in their close circle. Based on the title alone, it would change the conditions or scope of that leave. The bill would mainly affect employees who provide long-term care to relatives or others close to them, and their employers. Because this summary relies only on the title and metadata, the specific changes to eligibility, duration, or pay are not described here and should be checked in the full bill text.
