Summary of Bill HR 313

Bill 114 hr 313, also known as the Wounded Warriors Federal Leave Act of 2015, was introduced in the US Congress to provide federal employees who are disabled veterans with additional leave time for medical treatment related to their service-connected disabilities. The bill aimed to support these wounded warriors by allowing them to take up to 104 hours of leave during their first year of employment for medical treatment without having to use their regular sick or annual leave.

The bill was designed to help disabled veterans who may require ongoing medical care for injuries sustained during their military service. By providing them with additional leave time specifically for medical treatment, the bill aimed to ensure that these veterans could prioritize their health and well-being without having to worry about using up their regular leave time.

The Wounded Warriors Federal Leave Act of 2015 received bipartisan support in Congress and was ultimately signed into law by President Barack Obama on November 5, 2015. The bill was seen as a way to honor and support the sacrifices made by disabled veterans and ensure that they have the necessary resources and support to receive the medical care they need.
