Senators introduce legislation for parental leave and compensation for miscarriages and stillbirths, amending the FMLA.
Quiver AI Summary
Senators Tom Cotton and colleagues introduced the HEALING Mothers and Fathers Act, aiming to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act. This act would include spontaneous loss of an unborn child as a qualifying condition for leave and offer a tax credit for mothers experiencing stillbirths. Cotton emphasizes the need for families to have the resources to recover from such losses.
Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith remarked on the importance of recognizing the emotional toll of miscarriages and stillbirths, stating the need for formal acknowledgment and time for healing. The proposed legislation also mirrors an existing law in Arkansas, known as Paisley’s Law.
Provisions include allowing up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for affected parents and establishing a tax credit for families who receive a stillbirth certificate. The definition of spontaneous loss excludes any purposeful act leading to the loss.
