The bill aims to revise existing laws concerning the rights of employees who seek, are appointed to, or are elected to public office. It explicitly prohibits employers from restricting or retaliating against employees for pursuing election or appointment to city, county, or state public offices. Additionally, it ensures that during a mandatory leave of absence for public office, employers cannot require employees to use their leave or benefits without consent, nor can they mandate work during this period. The bill also stipulates that if an employer provides a company phone, computer, or phone number, they cannot restrict the employee's personal use of these devices during their leave.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that if an employer offers health care benefits, they must continue to provide these benefits with the same coverage during the employee's leave of absence. The legislation includes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval, as well as retroactive applicability to all occurrences on or after January 1, 2025. This ensures that the protections outlined in the bill are applied to relevant situations that arise after this date.
