HB 1643 -- Police Military Leave

Sponsor:  Johnson (47)

This bill changes the laws regarding military leave for Kansas
City police officers and civilian employees.  The bill requires
members of the Kansas City Police Retirement System and the
Kansas City Police Civilian Employees Retirement System who are
on leave of absence due to military service in which the United
States has declared war, a compulsory draft, or the combat
mobilization of any units of the military reserves to be entitled
to service credit for the time spent in the military service.
During the military service, members are not required to pay any
member contributions into the retirement system.

If it becomes necessary for the years of the service to be
included in the calculation of the member's compensation, the
member will be deemed to have received the same compensation
throughout the period of service as the member's base annual
salary immediately prior to the commencement of the leave of
absence.

The bill also specifies that eligible members who are absent
because of the military leave are entitled to federal employment
and re-employment rights.
