Parental Bereavement Act of 2017 or the Sarah Grace-Farley-Kluger Act

This bill amends the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to entitle an eligible employee to up to 12 workweeks of leave during any 12-month period because of the death of a son or daughter.

Such an employee may substitute any available paid leave for any leave without pay.

The bill applies the same leave entitlement to federal employees.
