Which of the following statements best summarizes the overall effect of SB 1383 on CFRA?

• A. It expands CFRA to include 5+ employees and broadens the definition of family members
• B. It narrows CFRA to 50 or more employees and narrows family definitions
• C. It eliminates CFRA entirely
• D. It leaves CFRA unchanged

Answer: (A)

The change being tested is that SB 1383 broadens CFRA by expanding both who is covered as an employer and who qualifies as a family member for CFRA leave. Lowering the employer-size threshold to five or more employees means many more private employers fall under CFRA requirements. Broadening the family-member definitions means more relatives (and related caregiving scenarios) qualify for protected leave. In short, more employers must provide CFRA protections, and more employees can use CFRA leave, so the overall effect is an expansion of CFRA, not a narrowing or elimination.
