Parity for Public Health Service Ready Reserve Act
This bill establishes parity for the Public Health Service Ready Reserve Corps (PHS RRC) by integrating it into the uniformed services framework. It updates federal laws to specifically include PHS RRC members, ensuring they receive the same benefits, leave entitlements, and educational assistance as members of other uniformed services. The bill adds specific provisions for PHS RRC members regarding leave, health care, jury duty, and other rights, and expands the Reserve Forces Policy Board to include Public Health Service representation. It affects members of the Public Health Service Ready Reserve Corps, who serve as part of the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service.
