To deem certain individuals as parents of Department of Veterans Affairs employees for purposes of determining entitlement to certain family and medical leave for such employees.

Summary

Makes the parent of a VA employee's spouse legally count as that employee's "parent" for purposes of federal family and medical leave. It explicitly applies to VA employees (including certain Veterans Health Administration hires) and uses the existing federal definitions of "employee" and "parent," overriding any conflicting VA law.

• Treats a VA employee's parent-in-law as a "parent" for federal family and medical leave eligibility.
• Applies explicitly to VA employees, including specified Veterans Health Administration full-time appointees.
• Incorporates existing federal definitions of "employee" and "parent" from the family and medical leave statute.
• Overrides any conflicting VA statute or other law that would limit this treatment.
• Allows VA employees to use existing family/medical leave to care for a spouse's parent.
• Does not create new leave amounts or funding—only changes who counts as a covered relative.
• Likely involves administrative changes at VA for leave determination and documentation.
