This bill amends the Public Health Service Act so that PHS commissioned officers are covered by "Chapter 40, Leave" of title 10 of the U.S. Code, the same leave rules that apply to Army officers. It also repeals the older, separate Public Health Service Act section currently governing their leave, since it would become redundant.
PHS commissioned officers and their families are affected, including doctors, nurses, scientists, and other health professionals serving at agencies like the CDC, FDA, and Indian Health Service.
The change would replace the PHS's separate leave rules with the Army's, standardizing how leave is earned, carried over, or used across the two services.

Right now: it passed the Senate, and the official record shows nothing new since. If the House changes it, it goes back to the Senate before reaching the President.
