The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding leave of absence for members of the national guard and armed forces reserves. Specifically, it would replace the phrase "to attend camps, maneuvers, formations or armory drills" with "training" in several sections, thereby broadening the scope of permissible leave. Additionally, it would clarify that members are entitled to leave for "active duty or training" under competent military orders, rather than just for field training or specific activities previously mentioned.
Furthermore, the bill would ensure that the leave of absence for military duties does not affect vacation rights, while also specifying that the time spent on leave for training or active duty should not be deducted from the employee's vacation entitlement. This update aims to modernize the language and provisions related to military leave, making it more inclusive of various forms of military obligations.
