A regulatory agency usually seeks public comment about draft regulations before they are finalized. However, the U.S. Department of Labor has decided to handle things in reverse. The agency seeks public comment regarding the current FMLA regulations. That's right, you can weigh in on the rather broad "serious health condition" definition, the "ease" of administering "intermittent leave," the medical certification, and other topics covered by the current regulations you have come to love over the past dozen years. Here is a webpage the DOL has created for providing comments. Presumably, the DOL will review the comments to decide whether and to what extent revisions to the regulations are appropriate. (Dare to dream).
