What this bill would do

This bill aims to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. The primary purpose is to reduce the qualifying time required for certain employees to take leave. Specifically, it targets spouses of active duty members of the Armed Forces. It seeks to change the definition of an "eligible employee" for these individuals. By doing so, the bill would allow these employees to request leave after a shorter period of employment.
