State employee leave for volunteer emergency services.

This bill (SF 3) grants Wyoming state employees up to 24 hours of paid leave per calendar year to serve as volunteer firefighters or volunteer emergency medical technicians (EMTs) within the state. It directly affects all state officers and employees who provide these volunteer services, defining "volunteer firefighter" and "volunteer EMT" using existing statutory terms. The key provision requires state employers to provide the paid leave, with the Department of Administration and Information tasked with creating necessary rules for implementation. The policy takes effect July 1, 2024, for most provisions.
