The proposed bill would update current statutes regarding military leave 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, ensuring that all forms of military obligations are covered.

Furthermore, the bill would remove outdated language related to "engaged in field training" and "employed on training duty or to attend camps, maneuvers, formations or drills," replacing it with more inclusive terms that reflect current military practices. This change aims to ensure that employees are granted leave without loss of time, pay, or efficiency rating for all relevant military duties, thereby enhancing protections for service members in the workforce.
