The Fairness for Stay-at-Home Parents Act was previously introduced by JD Vance as Senator from Ohio, and is being lead in the House of Representatives by Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV)

“Our legislation rectifies a problem with the Family and Medical Leave Act that unfairly impacts mothers who decide to stay home with their newborns after maternity leave,” said Senator Lee. “Each additional financial burden we can remove from growing American families is a victory, and this bill will make it easier for hundreds of thousands of new parents to care for their kids.” 

“Being pro-life means being pro-family,” said Rep. Moore. “That means ensuring families aren’t penalized for deciding to have a parent stay home with their new baby. Our bill ensures families won't face a huge bill for insurance premiums simply for choosing what's best for their family.”

“Family policy should give parents the choice to care for their young children. The Fairness for Stay-at-Home Parents Act does this, which is why I think it is a smart idea.”- Brad Wilcox, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies

“This is a much needed update to the FMLA to protect women who decide to stay home with their newborns. Young moms should feel empowered to make the choices that work for them when caring for their babies, not get socked with surprise bills from their employers.”  -Ivana Greco, homeschooling mom of four and Senior Fellow at Capita.
