Plain-English Summary

Military service members would receive the same paid leave benefits as federal civilian employees, ensuring they can take time off for medical appointments, family needs, and personal matters without losing pay. Currently, uniformed service members have different leave policies than their civilian counterparts in the federal government, creating inconsistencies in how they're treated. This change would apply to active-duty personnel across all military branches.
