What’s in it
AI summary State employees who are called away for military or disaster service can now use only one day of required leave for short absences. This rule applies if the duty lasts less than a certain number of hours and covers a single workday. Currently, these employees are already allowed to use one day of leave for a single workday, even if that workday spans two different calendar days.1
Read the official explanation
This bill allows a civil employee of the state to only take one day of required leave if the civil employee is absent due to state active duty, national guard duty, federal active duty, civil air patrol duty, or national disaster medical system duty, the employee is absent for a period of less than days, and the workday for the employee encompasses a continuous period of up to consecutive hours, regardless of whether the workday extends into one or two calendar days. Under current law, a civil employee may take a single day of required absence for one workday regardless of how many calendar days the workday actually encompasses.
