Now, there is word that the Parental Bereavement Act, last considered in 2011 as an amendment to the Family and Medical Leave Act, is back on the table.
Last week, in this press release, Senator Jon Tester (D-MT), announced that he and and Congressman Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) will champion the effort to change the FMLA to allow parents grieving from the death of their son or daughter to receive up to 12 weeks of job-protected time-off.
You can find a copy of of the bill here.
