Create a national paid family and medical leave program covering all Americans.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov lists Lucy McBath among the bill's cosponsors. The latest action shown is a 2024 referral to the Subcommittee on Health, and the bill status remains Introduced.
McBath's current House homepage highlights gun violence prevention, civil rights, health care, education, veterans, and infrastructure, with recent updates focused on gun violence prevention, childcare workforce shortage, maternal health, and local infrastructure; it does not show a national paid family and medical leave push.
Assessments
Lucy McBath backed federal paid-leave legislation, including as a cosponsor of the FAMILY Act, but the bill remained introduced and stalled in committee rather than becoming law. That means a national paid family and medical leave program covering all Americans was not delivered. Her support shows a serious legislative effort, so the effort badge is warranted.
