Statement from the Chair on Leave of Absence (LoA) requests and the passage of A2412.01
Hi all, just a quick statement with regards to the passage of A2412.01, a bill that modifies the way in which Leave of Absence (LoA) requests are handled within the Assembly. I’m going to quickly go over what is changing, and more importantly what this means for you.
Background details and the changes:
As you are hopefully aware, this bill A2412.01 amends the Citizenship and Legislator’s acts individually. These amendments end the separate Leave of Absence (LoA) system used by the Assembly. Before the passage of this bill, an individual would need to file separate Leave of Absence (LoA) requests with both the Citizenship Committee, through the Citizenship Office, and the Office of the Chair, through the Office of Assembly Affairs. With this bill’s passage, this process of filing two separate requests has been changed. Now an individual only needs to file a request with the Citizenship Committee.
What this means for you:
This bill’s passage makes the Leave of Absence (LoA) process easier for legislators, as only one request is required, the Office of the Chair will handle the duplication of this request to an individuals legislative profile. No other actions are required from you. As such, any Leave of Absence (LoA) requests filed within the Office of Assembly Affairs from now will be rejected.
I hope this helps answer any questions you may have. If you require further insight or details, please don’t hesitate to ask below.
Yours faithfully,
BlockBuster2K43, Chair of the Assembly
