Protecting Military Parental Leave Evaluations Act This bill requires the Department of Defense to prescribe regulations regarding parental leave policies for members of the Armed Forces across all branches. Specifically, the regulations must (1) exempt a member from a performance evaluation when such member is taking parental leave that exceeds 31 consecutive days; and (2) authorize a member (without a waiver) to take leave during the two-year period after the birth of a child, adoption of a child, or placement of a minor child in the custody of such member.
