Overview
This bill aims to extend leave benefits to commissioned officers in the Public Health Service that are similar to those already available to commissioned officers in the Army. Specifically, it amends the Public Health Service Act to include provisions mirroring those found in Title 10 of the United States Code regarding leave for military personnel. This would grant Public Health Service officers access to certain types of leave previously reserved for Army officers and their families. The bill also repeals a section of the Public Health Service Act that currently limits leave benefits.
