Uniformed Services Leave Parity Act
This bill, S 5348 (Uniformed Services Leave Parity Act), adjusts leave policies for Public Health Service (PHS) employees who also serve in the Armed Forces. It directly affects PHS officers with military service by doubling their annual leave entitlement from 60 to 120 days under Chapter 40 of the PHS Act. The key provision amends Section 221(a) to substitute 120 days for 60 days when calculating leave for these dual-duty employees. It also repeals outdated Section 219 of the PHS Act to align the policy with the new leave standard.
