SENATE AMENDMENTS TO H.B. 2297

(Reference to House engrossed bill)

 


Page 2, line 32, strike "paragraph paragraphs" insert "paragraph"

Line 33, strike "subsection B 3" insert "subsection B"

Line 40, strike "worked"; strike "biweekly" insert "weekly work"; after the period strike remainder of line

Strike lines 41 through 44

Page 3, strike lines 1 through 3, insert "AN officer or employee of this state or a political subdivision of this state is entitled to up to three times the average of regularly scheduled work hours in a weekly work period each year and up to six times the average of regularly scheduled work hours in a weekly work period in any two consecutive years."

After line 6, insert:

"Sec. 3. Intent

It is the intent of this state to fully support the members of the national guard and the reserve components of the United States armed forces when the member serves this state and the nation. This state and the political subdivisions of this state intend to continue to afford every member up to three workweeks of military leave per year and up to six workweeks of military leave in any two consecutive years. Although a five-day, eight-hour workweek has been interpreted as the model to establish military leave at the state and federal levels in the past and has been expressed in days to ensure consistent application of this policy across varying types of civilian work schedules, occupations and payroll systems, this act is intended to express the calculation of those three workweeks of military leave in hours based on the member's average scheduled civilian workweek. This calculation does not result in a loss of military leave time or salary as currently administered by this state and the political subdivisions of this state, and applying the hours across a civilian workweek enables military leave to be used in any combination of an employee's civilian work schedule across the entitled protection of three workweeks per year or six workweeks over two years to meet the member's military service obligations."

Amend title to conform
