What’s in it
AI summary State and local government employees who take time off for military or civil air patrol duty will have their paid leave calculated differently. Instead of counting hours, every workday an employee is away will count as one full day toward their limit of paid leave.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, an officer or employee of the state, a subdivision of the state, or a municipality is entitled to a leave of absence for state active duty, national guard duty, federal active duty, or civil air patrol duty without loss of status or efficiency rating, and without loss of pay during the first days. This bill specifies that each workday, regardless of the number of hours in the workday, for which a civil employee takes a leave of absence shall count as one day for purposes of calculating the days of paid leave.
