Legislation about Military Families
This category contains bills and statutes that include provisions that address leave for military families. These bills and statutes typically expand upon the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Under the FMLA, the spouse, child, parent or next of kin of a seriously injured military member is entitled to 26 weeks of unpaid job-protected leave, and family members of a deployed service member may use up to 12 weeks of FMLA leave to respond to “qualifying exigencies” arising out of deployment.
