This bill would add "Chapter 40, Leave" from Title 10 of the United States Code to the list of rights or privileges for commissioned officers of the Public Health Service and their beneficiaries. It changes section 221(a) of the Public Health Service Act by adding paragraph (22) to include that chapter. The bill also repeals section 219 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 210-1).
If you are a commissioned officer of the Public Health Service or a declared beneficiary, the bill would make the leave rules in Title 10, Chapter 40 available to you. The text describes this as "certain leave provided under Title 10" but does not list specific leave types or amounts. The repeal of section 219 (42 U.S.C. 210-1) is included, and the bill text does not describe what content is removed by that repeal.
