U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and her colleagues introduced two new bills focusing on America’s financial wellbeing. The first bill will require full cost consideration of bills to be passed, including future interest payments resulting from the national debt. The second bill aims to extend the 45S tax credit and make it easier for employers to provide paid family and medical leave. The main intention of the first bill is to increase transparency, so voters and representatives understand the long-term financial cost of federal legislation. The second bill is intended to extend and augment a tax policy introduced by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, expanding ways for business to qualify for the 45S tax credit.

For anyone seeking more information about the policy regarding paid family and medical leave, you can contact the Paid Family Leave department directly. However, it is not always easy to get a hold of them due to the high volume of requests for information they receive.
