SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Paid Family Leave Pilot Extension Act of 2018”.

SEC. 2. Employer credit for paid family and medical leave.

(a) Study.—Not later than June 30, 2022, the Comptroller General of the United States, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Labor, shall—

(1) complete a study that—

(A) examines the effectiveness of the tax credit for paid family and medical leave authorized under section 45S of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in terms of—

(i) increasing access to paid family and medical leave among qualifying employees;

(ii) promoting the creation of new paid family and medical leave policies among eligible employers;

(iii) increasing the generosity of existing paid family and medical leave policies among eligible employers; and
