2002 Senate Bill 994

Senate Roll Call 66: Passed

To prohibit an employer from denying leave to an employee wishing to perform military service. Also, to require that if the person is qualified, for 90 days he or she would be reemployed in the position that he or she would have had, and after 90 days, if not qualified, reemployed in the same position that he or she held when the service began. The employee would be entitled to seniority, rights and benefits he or she would have had if employment not been interrupted by military service. The requirement would last for five years in most cases, but would not apply if the employee received a less than honorable discharge.
