This bill updates Ohio's paid military leave policy for law enforcement officers and other public safety employees, ensuring they receive paid time off when serving in the uniformed services. It clarifies that permanent public employees, including firefighters and law enforcement officers, are entitled to up to one month of paid leave per federal fiscal year for military service, with specific definitions for what constitutes a month and what counts as uniformed service. For service extending beyond one month, the bill establishes payment rules for state agency and political subdivision employees, requiring them to receive the difference between their regular salary and military pay, capped at $500 for political subdivisions. The legislation also outlines documentation requirements, collective bargaining protections, and repeals previous conflicting provisions to streamline the leave process.
