Bill > S242

This bill amends the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Title 5 of the United States Code to expand the definition of family members for whom employees can take leave to care for, including domestic partners, in-laws, adult children, grandparents, grandchildren, siblings, and other individuals with a close personal relationship to the employee. The bill also creates a new type of leave called "parental involvement and family wellness leave" that allows employees to take up to 24 hours per year to participate in their children's or grandchildren's educational and extracurricular activities or to attend to routine family medical care needs.
