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
The bill amends the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 by repealing section 102(f), which currently imposes certain limitations on family and medical leave for married individuals employed by the same employer. This repeal would remove restrictions that currently limit the combined leave available to married couples when both work for the same employer. The effect would be to provide each spouse with independent access to family and medical leave protections.
