I saw this in an AP paper and was pleasantly surprised.

From the article.

On the subject of caregivers, the EEOC stated that employers who allow parental leave must provide it to men and women equally.

"If, for example, an employer extends leave to new mothers beyond the period of recuperation from childbirth, it cannot lawfully refuse to provide an equivalent amount of leave to new fathers for the same purpose," the agency said in a Q&A on its rules.

It does not require parental leave beyond that of "recuperation from childbirth" however it ensures that mothers and fathers are both offered equal parental leave if it exists.
