West Virginia Congressman Riley Moore and Utah Senator Mike Lee on Tuesday introduced legislation that would ensure that new moms are not “penalized” under federal law for deciding to leave the workforce and stay home with their child.

The Republican lawmakers introduced a new bill that would amend the Family and Medical Leave Act to ensure that parents are not required to pay back health care costs if they decide to stay home after the birth of their child. The bill, first shared with The Daily Wire, is titled the Fairness for Stay-at-Home-Parents Act.

President Donald Trump (R) signed multiple executive orders on Monday that plan to bolster the coal industry in the United States. Here’s what officials in West Virginia had to say following the orders, as well as statements from some of the organizations that this order may impact.

Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., told Newsmax on Thursday that President Donald Trump's new tariffs will benefit American workers, particularly in his state.

"This has been a long time coming and it's something we've wanted to see in West Virginia for decades," Moore said on "Newsline." "Somebody to stand up, to have the courage to actually do something, to reverse this trend that has been destroying communities in West Virginia for decades, from NAFTA to China and the World Trade Organization."

New legislation from Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia would significantly increase funding for low-income and working-class families to cover childcare costs.

This child care support could include paying a parent to stay at home or paying another relative to care for a child, The Daily Wire can first report — a major discussion point among social conservatives who argue in favor of promoting the family unit, rather than merely offering childcare options outside the home.
