HB 180 -- Police Military Leave

Sponsor:  Johnson (47)

This bill changes the laws regarding military leave for Kansas
City police officers and civilian employees.  Members of the
Police Retirement System of Kansas City and the Civilian
Employees' Retirement System of the Police Department of Kansas
City 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 are
entitled to service credit for the time spent in the military
service.  During their 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.

Eligible members who are absent because of the military leave are
entitled to federal employment and re-employment rights.
