Passed House

Summary

Extends the Army's Chapter 40 leave rules to commissioned officers of the Public Health Service and their beneficiaries. The bill adds "Chapter 40, Leave" as item (22) to Section 221(a) of the Public Health Service Act so PHS commissioned officers and their beneficiaries are covered by the same Chapter 40 leave framework that applies to Army officers and repeals Section 219. The change does not create new funding or set new eligibility criteria.
