What this bill does

    How should the military balance protecting service members' parental leave from performance evaluations while maintaining readiness and fairness to those who don't take extended leave?

  2. 02

    What evidence exists that current performance evaluation practices during parental leave disadvantage military families compared to civilian sector protections?

  3. 03

    Who should bear the administrative costs of implementing new DOD evaluation exemption rules, and how might this affect military budgets elsewhere?
