NOTE – Archived information.  The Policy Briefing Series provides state legislators and their staff with information about the policy implications of work-family issues and how these issues affect their constituents. Innovative state policies and proposed bills that can improve the lives of working families are summarized. Created by the Sloan Network staff, this four page publication is helpful to legislators, policy groups and work-family committee members across the United States who focus on the legislation that is being discussed in each brief. The Policy Mini-Briefs are shorter, complementary briefs to the Policy Briefing Series, providing state legislators and their staff with a one page summary of work-family policy issues.
