Summary

The bill lets employees of Maryland’s state, county and city governments take up to four paid hours annually to undergo cancer screening, but only after their supervisor approves the request. It requires each local government and the state personnel secretary to set up rules for how the leave is requested and granted. The measure aims to make preventive health care more accessible for public‑sector workers.
