AI Summary

This bill, titled "An Act supporting military leave," amends Chapter 33 of the General Laws by adding a new section, Section 13B, to ensure that members of various reserve components of the U.S. Armed Forces, including the Army National Guard, Army Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, Naval Reserve, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and Coast Guard Reserve, receive all the rights, protections, privileges, and immunities guaranteed by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), a federal law (38 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.) that protects service members' civilian employment. The bill further stipulates that if an employer violates USERRA, the affected employee can sue for damages or seek court orders for appropriate relief.
