Expands who counts as a family member under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to include many additional relatives, domestic partners, and any person with a close association. It updates eligibility, certification, and employment/benefits protections so leave for these added relationships is covered and enforceable.

Creates two new limited leave rights: (1) a new parental‑involvement / family wellness leave that lets eligible employees take short, defined hours to attend school or community activities for children/grandchildren and to meet routine family medical or eldercare needs (with substitution rules for accrued paid leave); and (2) a parallel, limited hourly leave right specifically for Federal employees with hourly caps, brief notice, and certification rules. The bill adds definitions, notice/certification rules, and procedural changes to integrate these leaves into existing FMLA rules.
