HR 3404 United States House · 119th Congress

FAIR Leave Act

This bill, HR 3404 (FAIR Leave Act), would remove a 12-week time limit for employees taking leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act to care for a spouse with a serious health condition. It directly affects workers who need to take time off to support a spouse facing medical needs, by repealing Section 102(f) of the 1993 Act. The key provision eliminates the current rule restricting spouse care leave to 12 weeks within a 12-month period. This change would allow employees greater flexibility in taking extended leave for their spouse's health needs without the prior time cap.
