The purpose of this legislation is to amend Idaho Cod 46-216
providing employees of an Idaho public school district with the
same rights as the state of Idaho provides state employees who
serve in the National Guard or as a reservist in the armed forces
of the United States. This legislation entitles public school
employees to a leave of absence to serve up to 15 days of reserve
training, ordered or authorized under the provisions of the
national defense act, without loss of pay, time, or efficiency
rating. 
                          FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund. There may be a
fiscal impact to Idaho school districts that have reduced or
withheld compensation for employees who serve up to 15 days of
reservist training.
