Purpose and Summary

Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on Oversight and Government Reform, and House Administration, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Bill 119 hr 1002 aims to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and title 5, United States Code, to expand the scope of individuals for whom employees can take leave to care for. Specifically, the bill seeks to allow employees to take leave to care for a domestic partner, parent-in-law, adult child, or another related individual who has a serious health condition.

Additionally, the bill proposes to introduce parental involvement and family wellness leave as additional leave options for employees. This type of leave would enable employees to participate in or attend their children's and grandchildren's educational and extracurricular activities, as well as meet family care needs.

Overall, the bill aims to provide employees with more flexibility and support when it comes to caring for their loved ones and participating in important family activities.
