The bill would require covered employers to provide each employee 96 hours of paid leave on the first workday of each calendar year, without carryover, for reproductive health conditions, related symptoms, procedures, medical care, screenings, fertility treatments, pregnancy terminations, hysterectomies, and vasectomies. Employees could request leave orally or in writing and could not be required to find a replacement; employers would be barred from interfering with leave rights or retaliating against employees. The Secretary of Labor would enforce the bill, with regulations generally due within 180 days after enactment and the Act generally taking effect six months after those regulations are issued.
