Bill Summary

This bill extends military leave of absence granted to public officers and employees to those serving on Federal active duty in the United States Coast Guard Reserve. Under current law, public officers and employees serving in the United States Army Reserve, Navy Reserve, Air Force Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, or National Guard are entitled to a leave of absence while on Federal active duty for up to 30 days a year without loss of pay or time. Notably, those serving in the Coast Guard Reserve are not entitled to this benefit despite being members of the United States Armed Forces. This bill would correct this omission and allow members of the Coast Guard Reserve to enjoy the same benefit as those serving in other branches of the Armed Forces.
