HB 2336 -- Attendance of Police and Firefighters at National
Conventions

Sponsor:  Roorda

This bill requires any employee of the state or any political
subdivision to be given a leave of absence with pay, if the
employee is a duly authorized representative of an employee
organization and affiliated with the Fraternal Order of Police or
the International Association of Firefighters, to attend any
state or national convention of the organization.  The number of
representatives who are allowed to attend is specified based on
the number of organization members unless negotiated otherwise by
the employer and the representatives of the employee association.
The leave of absence must be for a period inclusive of the
duration of the convention and a reasonable travel time but
cannot be for more than seven days.  Upon request by the
employer, a certificate of attendance must be submitted by the
attending representative.
