Bill > HR3090

This bill establishes the Interstate Paid Leave Action Network (I-PLAN), a collaborative effort to help states develop a more streamlined and consistent approach to paid family and medical leave programs. The bill creates a framework where states can voluntarily participate in developing an interstate agreement that will standardize definitions, administrative processes, and benefit coordination across state lines. Key components include establishing a national intermediary organization to facilitate meetings, produce annual reports comparing state programs, and develop a technology system to help states process interstate claims. States can receive two types of grants: conforming grants (for participating in the network) and implementation grants (for adopting the interstate agreement), with annual funding ranging from $1.5 million to $8 million per state. The goal is to reduce administrative burdens, make paid leave programs easier to understand and access, and provide support for both employees and employers across different states. The network will focus on creating consistent standards for benefit definitions, employee eligibility, administrative processes, and interstate benefit coordination, with the ultimate aim of making paid family and medical leave more accessible and uniform nationwide.
