Military leave; increase authorized days of paid military leave for public employees who are members of National Guard.

SB 2424 increases the authorized days of paid annual military leave for Mississippi public employees who are members of the National Guard. The bill amends Section 33-1-21 to raise the current 21-day limit for paid leave during military training, though the specific new number is not stated in the provided text. It directly affects state, county, municipal, and other public sector employees serving in the National Guard, ensuring they retain pay, leave accrual, and job protection during extended training. The change takes effect July 1, 2026, and applies to all qualifying public employers across Mississippi.
