Plain-English summary
Amends the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to apply the same employer requirements to all persons. Eliminates a marriage penalty for two spouses who work for the same employer by applying the same 12-week limitation to siblings and to both married and unmarried parents (such limitation applies when leave is available for the birth or adoption of a child or to care for a parent).
