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.
The Flexible Leave Act would amend the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to allow employees to take all their protected leave on an intermittent or part-time basis rather than requiring continuous blocks of time off. Currently, FMLA only permits intermittent leave in certain circumstances; this bill would expand that flexibility to cover all qualifying leave situations, including for serious health conditions and family care needs. The legislation would also remove certain certification requirements that employers can currently impose on intermittent leave requests, streamlining the process for workers. The bill was introduced on February 11, 2026, and referred to the House Committees on Education and Workforce, Oversight and Government Reform, and House Administration. No specific funding authorization or implementation timeline is specified in the text provided.
