The attorney general also announced that he was taking several weeks of paternity leave to be with his family and bond with the new baby.
“Being able to take parental leave is not something I take for granted, and I am reminded of ways in which Governor Murphy has helped expand the availability of family leave to allow parents across the state to care for new children or family members through the New Jersey Family and Medical Leave Act,” Platkin stated.
