GovInfo lists H.R. 7531 as the Healthy Families Act, with the title: "To allow Americans to earn paid sick time so that they can address their own health needs and the health needs of their families." The action text names Dwight Evans of Pennsylvania among cosponsors and says the bill was introduced and referred to House committees on February 12, 2026.

The U.S. Department of Labor states that for paid sick time, "There is currently no federal law guaranteeing access to paid sick leave," while noting that some states and localities have their own laws.
Assessments
The promised nationwide extension of paid sick leave to all American workers has not been enacted. Current Department of Labor guidance says there is no federal law guaranteeing paid sick leave, and the cited Healthy Families Act evidence shows Evans cosponsored relevant federal legislation in 2026 but it was only introduced and referred to committees, not passed into law. That is a serious legislative attempt, so effort credit applies, but the promised outcome was not delivered.
