Today, 63 million Americans — including our own Virgin Islanders — step up as family caregivers, helping older parents, spouses, and other loved ones live independently at home rather than in costly nursing homes. These everyday heroes hold up a broken long-term care system, managing medications, preparing meals, helping with bathing and dressing, and more. In the Virgin Islands alone, family caregivers provide thousands of hours of care each year, worth an exceptional amount in unpaid labor.

This proposed legislation is an exciting step forward, ensuring that all full-time employees of the Government of the Virgin Islands, including those working with independent boards, commissions, and agencies, receive four hours of administrative leave every month to fulfill their essential caregiving responsibilities for a seriously ill spouse, child, parent, or any legal dependent.

English | La responsabilidad de un notario es evaluar y examinar la autenticidad de los documentos importantes al ser testigo de la disposición de los firmantes y garantizar su conocimiento de la documentación. Estos documentos incluyen, entre otros, escrituras de propiedad, testamentos y poderes notariales. Aquí en las Islas Vírgenes de los EE. UU., los notarios públicos están bajo la atenta vigilancia del Vicegobernador y una medida reciente de la 34.ª Legislatura de las Islas Vírgenes de los EE. UU. ha llegado al escritorio del Gobernador Albert Bryan y garantizará que los notarios sean más accesibles. Esto es extremadamente importante ahora que COVID-19 ha puesto una pausa prolongada en la interacción personal.
