What’s in it

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 expands the leave of absence to include the necessary travel time to perform the military duty and allows a civil employee to take a leave of absence for the necessary hours to perform inactive duty training.
