I am doing research paper on current federal proposals for changes in the FMLA. What search engines do you suggest? I have exhausted HRhero.com and SHRM

If no luck there, contact your congresspeople.
But the big changes in FMLA that are expected in the short run are the proposed regs that are being worked on in the Department of Labor.
There are several articles in the HR Answer Engine on that subject. In the pull-down box for states, choose the last entry, "Federal." Choose the current year, or include last year as well.
One of the articles points to this web site:

You might also want to include in your report the fact that President Clinton proposed the Act be broadened to include trips to the veterinarian and attendance at school plays. And don't overlook the fact in your paper that those sorts of ludicrous proposals carried with them that the leave be paid as well.
Good luck with the paper. Hurry, schools almost out.
This is the webaddress for the US Congress. You can search by key word or phrase. It will show you all kinds of pending bills and allow you to follow them through committee/votes/changes.
Each state also has a similar "electronic" library.
Good luck!

On a lighter note, I would be interested in the aspect of veterinary visits being covered by fmla. I have no children, so don't really get the opportunity to exercise those fmla rights. However, I do have lots of cats.
