The Family and Medical Leave Act is a step in the right direction, yet needs to be strengthened to protect future employees. This issue is just beginning to be addressed. Recently President Clinton reported that home visits to at-risk families are a significant factor in reducing crime. Babies separated from their mothers due to incarceration may be further compromised by being denied breastfeeding and human milk. Similar legislation has been passed in 13 states including Florida, New York, Texas, North Carolina, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Utah and Virginia.
Legislation is pending in New Jersey and California.
