President Joe Biden commemorated the Family and Medical Leave Act’s 30th anniversary on Feb. 2 by encouraging federal agency leaders to expand provisions from the law and asking former President Bill Clinton to speak at the White House.

In 1993, Clinton signed legislation that mandates certain employers to authorize as much as 12 weeks of unpaid leave if employees are ill, have a newborn child in their home, or are caring for a sick family member, without losing their jobs.
