DOMA Decision

Lower courts have begun to issue rulings based on the Supreme Court's June 26, 2013, Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) decision, with two district courts recently extending the ruling's application.  In addition, the Department of Labor revised a fact sheet on qualifying reasons for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), in response to the Supreme Court's historic decision this summer striking down Section 3 of DOMA.
