AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would make all family and medical leave for federal employees paid leave, covering up to 12 workweeks in a 12-month period, instead of only parental leave for birth or adoption. It would add a new type of leave for employees or family members who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, or stalking. It would allow leave for pregnancy loss, failed fertility treatments, failed adoptions or surrogacy arrangements, and related events. Employees taking paid leave for a birth or adoption would need to agree in writing to keep working for their agency afterward or repay certain health coverage costs. The changes would extend to congressional, Postal Service, White House, FAA, TSA, VA, and D.C. court employees and would take effect 6 months after enactment.
