The key facts

  • Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill in 2023 that provides paid family leave starting in January 2026.
  • Democrats in Congress have proposed the Family Act since 2013, but this paid family leave plan has not progressed.
  • President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better proposal initially included four weeks of paid family leave, but Sen. Joe Manchin, then a Democrat, objected to the bill. Without Republican support, that doomed the bill. The legislation that became the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act did not include family leave.
