This legislation proposes to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) by repealing a specific provision that currently limits leave for married individuals. The bill targets Section 102(f) of the FMLA, which mandates that spouses working for the same employer must share a combined 12-week leave entitlement for certain qualifying events. Specifically, this shared limit applies to leave taken for the birth or adoption of a child, or to care for a parent. By eliminating this restriction, the bill aims to ensure that each eligible spouse can independently access their full 12 weeks of FMLA leave. This amendment seeks to provide equitable access to family and medical leave benefits, removing a limitation that disproportionately affects married couples employed by the same company.
