This bill allows certain State employees to take both unpaid and paid leave to serve as census enumerators during the federal decennial census. Specifically, it permits up to five employees from each State agency to request a leave of absence during their normal work hours for this purpose. Upon approval, these employees can receive a paid leave of absence for up to 10 workdays and an additional unpaid leave for another 10 workdays during the census year to engage in census outreach activities.

The bill defines a "State agency" as any principal department in the Executive Branch of State government, including its divisions, boards, bureaus, offices, commissions, and independent authorities. This legislation aims to facilitate participation in the census process by allowing State employees to contribute to this important civic duty without sacrificing their regular employment.
