HB 3083 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to leaves of absence for military service

HB 3083 ensures public employees in the National Guard or military reserves can take leave for their service without losing their job, seniority, pay, or benefits. For federal military duty, leave is capped at 120 hours (or 38 working days) per federal fiscal year, and employees must provide a military order as proof. The bill prohibits employers from discriminating against employees for military service and requires leave to be charged only for actual hours taken (minimum one hour, in multiples). Volunteer firefighters are covered under these protections but are excluded from monetary compensation provisions.

MINOR
The bill was amended to combine HB 3083 with HB 2940, changing the bill number and updating the Chief Clerk's designation. A substantive change was made to the maximum allowable leave for military service, increasing the limit from 120 hours to 121 hours.
Scope change
The bill now applies to two separate legislative bills (HB 3083 and HB 2940) instead of just one, and the official bill number in the header was updated to reflect this combination.
SCOPE

The bill text was combined with HB 2940, changing the title from 'House Bill No. 3083' to 'House Bill Nos. 3083 & 2940' and updating the Chief Clerk's section number from 6871H.01I to 6871H.02C.

ELIGIBILITY

The maximum time limit for military leave was increased from 120 hours to 121 hours for officers or employees serving under competent orders.
