AI Summary

This bill addresses the fees that healthcare providers can charge for completing Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) certification forms. Specifically, the bill prohibits healthcare providers from charging any fee for filling out these forms if they have examined, treated, or provided healthcare services to the patient within the past 3 years. If the healthcare provider has not treated the patient within that 3-year period, they are limited to charging a maximum of $25 for completing the form. The FMLA is a federal law that allows employees to take unpaid leave for specific medical or family reasons, such as a serious personal health condition, caring for a family member with a serious health condition, or supporting a veteran or Armed Forces member with a serious injury or illness. The bill aims to reduce financial barriers for employees needing documentation to take protected medical or family leave by limiting the cost of obtaining required medical certifications.
