AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "elderly relative" in the family and medical leave enforcement law to include relatives by adoption, in addition to relatives by blood or marriage. Specifically, the bill adds the phrase "or an adoptive parent" to the existing definition, which previously only covered relatives "by blood or marriage to the employee, including a parent." This change expands the family members for whom an employee can take leave under the law to care for.
