This bill amends current law to extend military service credit for compensation purposes to noncertificated employees of school districts, aligning their benefits with those already provided to certificated employees. Specifically, it allows noncertificated employees hired on or after the bill's effective date to receive equivalent years of employment credit for active military or naval service, similar to the provisions for teaching staff members. However, the credit for such service is limited to a maximum of four employment or adjustment increments, ensuring that it does not reduce the increments available under existing laws or regulations regarding leaves of absence.

The bill aims to recognize the contributions of noncertificated school district employees who have served in the military, thereby promoting equity in compensation benefits within the educational workforce. By including these employees, the legislation acknowledges their service and provides them with the same opportunities for credit as their certificated counterparts, enhancing their overall compensation and benefits package. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
