(CNN) As if you needed another reason to pack your belongings and head west, California's governor just proposed a plan to give new parents six months of partial-paid leave -- the most generous policy in the nation. Gavin Newsom unveiled his plan on Thursday at a budget press conference in Sacramento. 'We're committed to a six-month paid sick leave system," he said. Two parents or caretakers would be allowed to take advantage of the program for up to three months each. It's a major upgrade to the state's current paid family leave policy, which provides up to only six weeks of partial pay for employees as part of the state's Disability Insurance and Paid Family Leave Program.
