Status:

House of Representatives: As of April 3, 2020, it sits in the Education and Labor, Ways and Means, House Administration, and Judiciary Committees.

Senate: As of March 17, 2020, it sits in the Senate Finance Committee.

Analysis

The PAID Leave Act closes loopholes in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) like limited paid sick days and paid leave, the paid leave mandate exemptions for large businesses whose employees make up a majority of the labor force, and the narrow list of reasons one might be able to take leave under the FFCRA.

Which human? Whose security? 

Protects ALL American workers by expanding the pool of organizations compelled to offer paid sick leave as well as the list of reasons employees might be able to use their newly minted PSL.
