Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Family and Medical Leave Act to expand employees eligible for leave and employers subject to leave requirements, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Job Protection Act, proposes to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) in two key ways. First, it expands the eligibility for FMLA leave by reducing the employment duration requirement from 12 months to 90 days for both private and federal employees, including the President's staff and Congressional employees. Second, it expands the requirement to provide FMLA leave to employers with 1 or more employees, down from the current threshold of 50 or more employees. These changes are intended to make FMLA leave more accessible to a wider range of workers.
