Flexible Leave Act
To amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to allow all leave to be taken on an intermittent schedule.
HB7505, also known as the Flexible Leave Act, proposes to make changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. Specifically, it aims to allow all leave to be taken on an intermittent schedule, rather than requiring continuous leave. This means that employees could take time off in shorter, more frequent periods rather than having to take a large block of time.
This bill would affect employees across the country who need to take time off for family or medical reasons. If passed, it could make it easier for people to manage their leave, especially for those who have unpredictable schedules or need to take time off for short, but frequent, reasons.
As of February 11, 2026, HB7505 has just been introduced in the House and referred to multiple committees for further consideration. This is the first step in the legislative process, and the bill is still in the early stages. The committees will review the bill, hold hearings, and decide if it should move forward for a vote.
