The bill amends the existing law regarding military leaves for employees of local units of government in Michigan. It allows these local governments to establish a differential pay program or provide a specific number of paid leave days for employees who need to take a leave of absence to enter active service in a uniformed service. The differential pay program is defined as a system where the local government pays the difference between the employee's regular pay and the pay received from the uniformed service, should the local government's pay exceed that of the service.

Additionally, the bill specifies that a "local unit of government" includes cities, villages, townships, and counties. The enactment of this amendment is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 5233 from the 103rd Legislature. The bill is designed to take immediate effect upon approval.
