AI Summary
This bill establishes a new policy allowing state employees, including temporary and part-time workers across all branches of Maryland state government, to receive up to 4 hours of paid leave specifically for cancer screening purposes within any 12-month period. Employees must first obtain approval from their appointing authority before using this cancer screening leave, and the Secretary of Personnel is required to develop regulations that outline the specific conditions and procedures for requesting and approving such leave. The legislation applies universally to employees in executive, judicial, and legislative branches, as well as units with independent personnel systems. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, providing state employees with a new benefit designed to support proactive health screening and early detection of cancer.
