Thank you for introducing this bill, @CMLewisGeorgeW4! We submitted comments on the initial regulations to try to fix this loophole, and we are glad that it can still be fixed legislatively.

Today is the official 30th anniversary of #FMLA! Workers have used FMLA over 300 million times to care & heal over the past 30 years. A critical support, but only 56% of workers can access unpaid leave under FMLA (1/3) #FMLA30 #MDGA23 #MDPolitics #TimetoCareMD #PaidLeaveForAll

Today marks 30 years of the Family and Medical Leave Act #FMLA. Please share your story if you have used or want to use leave in the future! #PaidLeaveforAll will give us all #TimeToCare where FMLA falls short; tell Congress why you need it now! #FMLAat30 #FMLA30 @ceprdc

The US is the only wealthy country in the world without a comprehensive paid family and medical leave program. People shouldn't need to win "employer lottery" to ensure they are able to care for their loved ones or themselves. Let's pass #PaidLeaveForAll right now. @IndivarD
