HR 3404 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, to repeal certain limits on leave for married individuals employed by the same employer.
Summary
This bill amends the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 by repealing Section 102(f), which currently limits the amount of leave available to married individuals who work for the same employer. Under current law, spouses employed by the same employer share a combined leave allowance rather than each receiving their full individual leave entitlement. Repealing this section would allow each spouse to take their full independent leave entitlement for family and medical reasons, regardless of whether they work for the same employer.
