An Aurora man’s idea of amending the Family Medical Leave Act to allow unpaid time off when a child dies now is more than an idea — it’s a bill in the U.S. Senate. The man behind the bill, Kelly Farley of Aurora, is in Washington, D.C. this week meeting with staff members for 19 legislators in both houses of Congress seeking their support of the Parental Bereavement Leave Act.
