Revise labor laws relating to employers and public service
HB 667 revises labor laws regarding employees who seek or hold public office. It prohibits employers from restricting employees from seeking election or appointment to city, county, or state public office, or from retaliating against them for doing so. During an employee's mandatory leave of absence for public service, employers cannot require the employee to use personal leave or benefits without their consent, nor can they require them to perform work. If an employer generally permits personal use of company devices, they cannot prohibit an employee on public service leave from using those devices for personal reasons.

The bill text was reformatted to improve readability by breaking up long lines and adjusting punctuation, but the substantive legal content remains identical. No new rights, restrictions, dates, or definitions were added or removed.
TECHNICAL
Line breaks and punctuation were adjusted to split long sentences into shorter, more readable segments without altering the meaning of the law.
