Bill Summary
To amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and title 5, United States Code, to permit leave to care for an adult child, grandchild, or grandparent who has a serious health condition, and for other purposes. This bill amends the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and federal civil service law to entitle to leave an eligible employee, including a federal employee, to care for an adult child, grandparent, or grandchild (as well as for a spouse, child, or parent), if that person has a serious health condition.
AI Summary
This bill, the Grandparent-Grandchild Medical Leave Act, amends the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and federal civil service law to entitle eligible employees, including federal employees, to take leave to care for an adult child, grandparent, or grandchild who has a serious health condition, in addition to being able to take leave to care for a spouse, child, or parent. The bill expands the FMLA's definitions of "grandchild" and "grandparent" and removes the age restriction for "adult child," allowing employees more flexibility in caring for their extended family members.
