Bill Summary
A bill to expand employees eligible for leave and employers subject to leave requirements.
AI Summary
This bill, the Job Protection Act, aims to expand the employees eligible for leave and the employers subject to leave requirements under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993. Specifically, it reduces the eligibility requirement for employees from 12 months of employment to 90 days, and it expands the coverage of the FMLA to employers with 1 or more employees, down from the previous threshold of 50 or more employees. These changes would make it easier for more workers to take leave for medical or family reasons, and would require more employers to provide this leave.
