What’s in it

AI summary Public safety employees who are not part of a union can turn their unused sick leave into money when they retire. This money will be used to help pay for their monthly health insurance premiums. If the retired employee passes away, their spouse or dependents can use any leftover money for those same insurance costs.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to credit for accrued sick leave of public safety employees. Under the bill, a public safety employee who retires and has applied for retirement benefits shall receive all accumulated, unused sick leave which shall be converted at 100 percent of current value for the purpose of paying monthly health insurance premiums under the public safety employee’s health insurance plan. Upon the death of the retired employee, the remaining value of the converted sick leave may be used for such purposes by the surviving spouse or dependents. The bill does not apply to a public safety employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
