Revise labor laws relating to employers and public service

This bill prevents employers from stopping employees from running for or accepting public office at the city, county, or state level. It also protects workers from retaliation or discrimination if they pursue these public positions. The law requires employers to allow employees on mandatory public service leave to use their own leave time and benefits without permission, and it prohibits requiring work during that leave. Additionally, if an employer permits personal use of company equipment like phones or computers, employees may continue using them while serving in public office. These rules apply to all employers within Montana and aim to remove barriers for workers considering public service roles.
