Enacted
This bill proposes an amendment to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) to modify eligibility requirements for a specific group of employees. Its primary purpose is to reduce the qualifying time an employee must work before being able to take FMLA leave. Specifically, an employee who is the spouse of a member of the Armed Forces participating in covered active duty would qualify as an "eligible employee" after being employed for at least 90 calendar days by their employer. This change aims to provide earlier access to FMLA benefits for military spouses, enabling them to take necessary leave sooner to support their families.
