For a moment there I was majorly confused as I read it:

William says Volkswagen teachers who are pregnant, new mothers would have access to donated sick days.

But the Bill is probably not a name here and the Volkswagen is VW not WV.

The grammar of the headline is still trash tho:

The law says some states teachers who are pregnant, new mothers would have access to donated sick days.

You misunderstood it, rewrote it incorrectly and then got mad at yourself.

It's a bill, not law yet so it's not correct to call it a law. In the US it's pretty common to shorten states to some initials (such as FL, NY, CA).

Why so serious? It's a goof. I'm not from US, I don't know how a bill is supposed to be different from a law, It's all rules and shit that governments enforce.
