Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, to repeal certain limits on leave for married individuals employed by the same employer.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Fair Access for Individuals to Receive Leave Act" (FAIR Leave Act), proposes to repeal a specific provision in the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) that currently limits leave for married individuals who work for the same employer. Specifically, the bill would remove Section 102(f) of the FMLA, which previously restricted the total amount of FMLA leave that married couples employed by the same company could take. By eliminating this limitation, the bill aims to provide more flexibility for married couples in managing their family and medical leave, allowing each spouse to potentially take the full amount of leave independently, without the current combined total restrictions. This change could be particularly beneficial for couples facing complex family medical situations or who need to care for children, sick family members, or manage their own medical conditions while working for the same employer.
