Creates a federal competitive grant program to help States set up paid family leave programs built through public–private “covered partnerships,” and establishes an Interstate Paid Leave Action Network (I–PLAN) to help States coordinate programs, build a single interstate agreement, and share technical standards and reporting. Grants may be used for program design, technology, outreach, and administration; State programs must meet minimum rules including at least 6 weeks of leave and specified benefit-calculation rules.

Builds capacity for interstate portability and comparison of paid leave programs by funding a national intermediary and State participants, requiring standardized technology and data reporting, and setting application, reporting, and audit requirements for grant recipients.
