Republican Bill Would Save Thousands For Parents Who Stay Home With Kids

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.
