Bill Summary
This bill adds the Sons of The American Legion to the list of organizations whose duly authorized representatives are entitled to receive a leave of absence with pay to attend State and national conventions under R.S.38:23-2, which applies to persons in the service of the State, a county, or a municipality. This bill also removes two defunct organizations from the list.
AI Summary
This bill amends a New Jersey law that allows certain public employees to take paid leave to attend conventions of veterans' organizations, by adding the Sons of The American Legion to the list of eligible organizations. This means that duly authorized representatives of the Sons of The American Legion, who are employed by the State, a county, or a municipality, will now be entitled to a paid leave of absence to attend their State and national conventions, similar to other recognized veterans' groups. The bill also removes two organizations that are no longer active from this list, ensuring that the law reflects current organizations. The existing provisions of the law, which limit this paid leave to a maximum of five days per calendar year and do not allow for unused days to be carried over, will continue to apply.
