Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
This bill increases paid leave for federal employees who serve in the National Guard or military reserves. Currently, these employees receive a certain amount of paid military leave per year, but this legislation expands that to 40 days per fiscal year, with unused days accumulating up to a maximum of 20 days that can be carried over to the next year. The change applies to all federal employees serving in the Guard or Reserve and takes effect on October 1, 2025. The bill does not include any new federal funding requirements, as it modifies existing leave policies within current federal employee benefit structures. This change is intended to better support federal workers who balance civilian employment with military service obligations.
