In addition to modifying the ADA, Congress is also about to approve legislation extending the mental health parity law, which requires that if employers provide life time dollar benefit limits for physical conditions, they must provide similar benefit limits for mental conditions.  Congress also has amended the Consumer Product Safety Act to provide whistleblower protection to employees, in retail and manufacturing sectors, who provide information, testify about or assist in raising complaints about possible product safety issues or violations of the law.  The House of Representatives also has approved a five year extension of the E-verify program.  Finally, many states are looking at laws to mandate paid leave for employees or to allow employees to use sick leave to care for family members.  Watch for possible new enactments as state legislatures start to go into session for the 2008/09 legislative year.
