Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on Ways and Means, Armed Services, Oversight and Government Reform, House Administration, and the Judiciary, 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.
The More Paid Leave for More Americans Act establishes a federal grant program to help states develop and expand paid family and medical leave programs, with approximately $79.4 million in annual funding authorized through fiscal year 2028. The bill creates the Interstate Paid Leave Action Network (I-PLAN), which brings states together to develop uniform standards for eligibility, benefits, and administrative procedures, while allowing workers with employment across multiple states to combine their work history to qualify for benefits. To ensure accountability, states receiving grants must submit annual reports to the Department of Labor documenting how they use the funds and how many workers benefit, while the Labor Secretary reports progress to Congress and the department's Inspector General conducts annual audits to prevent waste and fraud. This legislation affects both workers seeking paid leave benefits and states looking to establish or improve their paid leave programs by providing federal support and creating a coordinated interstate system.
