Closed Oblige employers to give paid leave for parents of kids with chronic illnesses.

Parents of children with chronic illnesses (e.g. juvenile idiopathic arthritis or juvenile diabetes) need time off work for frequent medical appointments, meaning parents often lose their jobs or cannot continue to work, leading to hardship. The law should provide for permitted, paid time off.
