SB 235 Connecticut Senate · 2024 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING MILITARY LEAVE PROVISIONS UNDER THE STATE PERSONNEL ACT.

This bill updates the language in the State Personnel Act regarding military leave for state employees who serve in the armed forces. It removes outdated terms like "field training" and clarifies that eligible personnel are entitled to up to fifteen days of paid leave per year for required military training. The changes also allow these employees to attend training during their regular vacation time if they choose. These revisions take effect on July 1, 2024, and aim to make the rules easier to understand and apply for state workers serving in the military.
