The new bill, HB 6102, has not yet passed the Senate. However, President Trump is urging the Senate to pass it and send it to him.
Here is an initial analysis of the Coronavirus Paid Leave bill:

It will provide federally funded Emergency Paid Leave, and it requires employers to pay employees up to 10 days of paid sick time during a public health emergency, which we are in.
I have not figured out yet when it will take effect, if passed. One would think it would take effect immediately.
While I don't think athe Bill will help employees who are out of work due to a plant closure unrelated to coronavirus, I believe it will cover the days that you need to take leave to care for children who are at home due to a school closure.
