AI Summary
This bill expands paid leave provisions for state employees in South Carolina who volunteer during disasters. Previously, only certified disaster service volunteers of the American Red Cross were eligible for up to ten work days of paid leave per calendar year to participate in specialized disaster relief services. This legislation amends the existing law to also include verified Team Rubicon disaster relief volunteers, allowing them the same paid leave benefit. Team Rubicon is an organization that mobilizes veterans and civilian volunteers to provide disaster response. The bill ensures that these volunteers can be released from work upon request from their respective organizations for their services, and this paid leave is in addition to any other leave they are entitled to.
