Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on Oversight and Government Reform, and House Administration, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill modifies the Family and Medical Leave Act to prohibit employers from recovering health insurance premiums they paid for employees who decide not to return to work after taking parental leave for the birth of a child. Currently, employers can recoup these premium costs if an employee fails to return. The legislation affects private employers and their employees who take maternity or paternity leave, requiring employers to notify eligible employees of this protection when they take leave for a newborn. The bill has no specified funding requirements or implementation timeline, though it was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, along with the Committees on Oversight and Government Reform and House Administration.
