Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title II of the Public Health Service Act to include as an additional right or privilege of commissioned officers of the Public Health Service (and their beneficiaries) certain leave provided under title 10, United States Code to commissioned officers of the Army (or their beneficiaries).
AI Summary
This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to extend certain leave provisions currently available to commissioned officers of the Army to commissioned officers of the Public Health Service (PHS) and their beneficiaries. Specifically, the bill adds Chapter 40 (which covers leave) from Title 10 of the United States Code to the list of rights and privileges for PHS commissioned officers. The bill also repeals Section 219 of the Public Health Service Act, which likely relates to previous leave provisions. By making this change, PHS officers will now have access to the same leave benefits that Army commissioned officers receive, potentially providing more comprehensive leave options for these public health professionals. This modification aims to standardize leave policies across different commissioned officer corps and ensure equitable treatment for Public Health Service officers.
