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 various divisions, boards, and independent authorities. This legislation aims to facilitate the participation of State employees in the census process, thereby enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of census outreach efforts. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
