H.R. 626, the Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act of 2009, was introduced by Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) on January 22, 2009. The Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act (FEPPLA) would amend section 6382 of title 5, U.S.C., the Congressional Accountability Act (CAA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to provide four weeks of paid parental leave to federal and congressional employees for the birth, adoption, or placement of a child, out of the twelve weeks of unpaid leave that are currently available to employees under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
