This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to extend certain leave benefits, currently provided to commissioned officers of the Army under Title 10 of the U.S. Code, to commissioned officers of the U.S. Public Health Service and their beneficiaries. It does this by adding a reference to 'Chapter 40, Leave' from Title 10 to the list of rights and privileges for Public Health Service officers and repeals an outdated section of the existing law.
