Uniformed Services Leave Parity Act

  • Apply Army leave rules to Public Health Service officers: The bill would add title 10, chapter 40, on leave to the rights and privileges that apply to commissioned officers of the Public Health Service. The text describes this as extending certain leave available to commissioned Army officers
