This legislation aims to ensure that commissioned officers of the Public Health Service and their beneficiaries receive the same leave benefits as their counterparts in the Army. It achieves this by amending the Public Health Service Act to incorporate Chapter 40, Leave , from Title 10, United States Code, as an additional right or privilege. By adding this specific chapter, the bill extends the comprehensive leave provisions currently available to commissioned officers of the Army to those serving in the Public Health Service. Furthermore, the Act includes a conforming repeal of Section 219 of the Public Health Service Act, streamlining the relevant statutes. This measure ensures consistent and equitable leave policies across these uniformed services.
