I am working to pass legislation that will provide 12 weeks of paid leave to care for a newborn or adopted child or a sick family member, and at least seven job-protected paid sick or safe days.
Pass legislation to provide 12 weeks of paid leave to care for a newborn or adopted child or a sick family member, and at least seven job-protected paid sick or safe days.
Occurrences
Evidence
"I also support expanding paid family and medical leave to provide workers with the flexibility needed to take time off to care for loved ones or recover from an illness without missing a paycheck."
The bill states: "To provide that 12 weeks of family leave made available to a Federal employee shall be paid leave" and shows only introduction and referral to committee, with tracker status "Introduced." Bonamici is listed among the cosponsors.
The bill summary says it would require employers to provide at least 56 hours, or 7 days, of paid sick time per year, and the cosponsor list includes Rep. Suzanne Bonamici. The latest action shown is referral to committee and the tracker status is "Introduced."
The index entry lists Bonamici on legislation to "allow employees to earn paid sick time" and separately to "enact permanent paid family and medical leave."
Assessments
Bonamici supported concrete legislation addressing both parts of the promise: 12 weeks of paid family leave and at least seven paid sick or safe days. However, the cited bills were introduced and referred to committee but not enacted, so the promised legislative outcome was not delivered. Because she made serious legislative attempts by cosponsoring relevant bills, the effort badge is warranted.
