- On May 1, 2025, a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers unveiled legislation in Washington, D.C., aimed at expanding access to paid family leave for American workers.

- The legislation proposes a three-year pilot offering competitive grants through the U.S. Department of Labor for states offering at least six weeks of paid leave and wage replacement between 50% and 67%.
- Rep. Chrissy Houlahan stated the act promotes greater uniformity, while Michele Stockwell noted that “distinct requirements present compliance challenges for multistate employers.”
