AI Summary

This bill enacts the "Parental Involvement Leave Act", which requires employers to grant employees up to 24 hours of unpaid leave per school year to attend their child's school-related events, such as parent-teacher conferences or IEP meetings, if the event cannot be scheduled during non-work hours. The bill defines "employer" broadly to include state agencies, local governments, school districts, and various types of private organizations. It also requires the Department of Labor to educate employers and employees about the law, and the Department of Education to notify schools about the law so they can inform parents. The bill preserves existing employee rights and remedies, and allows employers to provide more generous leave policies.
