Stewart & Irwin Shareholder, Jeffrey B. Halbert, advises that President Bush Signs National Defense Authorization Act Resulting in First Amendments to the Family and Medical Leave Act since its Enactment in 1993

Feb 20
On January 28, 2008, President Bush signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act. This is significant for employers with fifty (50) or more employees because the Act contains the first substantive amendments to the Family and Medical Leave Act ("FMLA") since its enactment in 1993. The law amends the FMLA's leave provisions to include leave for family members to care for an injured servicemember and leave due to a call to active duty.
