After Pressure from Congressman Horsford, Paid Leave Provisions Return to the Build Back Better Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV-04) celebrated a hard-fought agreement to return essential paid family and medical leave provisions to the Build Back Better Act. Earlier this fall, Congressman Horsford voted to include paid leave provisions in the Build Back Better Act as the bill passed through the House Ways and Means and House Budget committees.

"Nevada families should never have to choose between making ends meet and caring for themselves or a loved one," said Congressman Steven Horsford. "Today's agreement advances a meaningful national paid leave policy that will benefit workers, small businesses, and our economy at large. I want to recognize all the paid leave advocates who made this possible, including Make it Work Nevada, and the families who rallied with me in the rain yesterday to demand action from Congress. Paid leave isn't a partisan issue — it's about doing the right thing for working families."
