AI Summary
This bill amends a New Jersey law that allows public employees to take paid leave to attend conventions of certain veterans' organizations. Specifically, it adds the Vietnam Veterans of America to the list of organizations whose representatives are eligible for this paid leave, meaning members of this organization who are authorized representatives can now attend State and national conventions with pay. The bill also removes two organizations that are no longer active from the list, ensuring the law only applies to current, relevant groups. This change provides a benefit to Vietnam veterans employed by the State, counties, or municipalities, allowing them to participate in their organization's conventions without losing pay.
