This bill would extend parental leave benefits to members of the Coast Guard Reserve, bringing them to the same level as members of other military branches. Currently, parental leave is available to active duty and reserve members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force, but Coast Guard Reserve members are excluded from these benefits. The legislation amends federal law to include Coast Guard Reserve personnel in the existing parental leave program without specifying new funding requirements or implementation timelines. By closing this gap, the bill aims to ensure equal treatment for Coast Guard Reserve members and their families compared to other military reserve components.
