BILL NUMBER:S2812 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the military law, in relation to authorizing additional paid leave for state correction officers who are absent on military duty PURPOSE: Authorizes an additional 10 days military leave for state correctional officers who are absent on military duty.

As a result, many state correctional officers often exhaust their current 30-day
