Permits certain State employees to receive unpaid and paid leave to be census enumerators.

S 2977 allows up to five state employees per agency to take leave to work as census enumerators during the federal decennial census. Eligible employees may receive up to 10 paid workdays and 10 unpaid workdays during the census year, granted upon request and agency approval. This applies to all state agencies, including departments, commissions, and independent authorities. The bill directly affects state employees who volunteer for census work while maintaining their regular employment status.
