What it does

This bill provides credit for accrued sick leave for certain retired law enforcement officers. The bill defines an “eligible law enforcement officer” as a law enforcement officer who is eligible to receive retirement benefits under a retirement system under Code chapter 97B or 411 on or after July 1, 2025.23. to retire and dies while in active employment, can receive a cash payment of up to $2,000 for the officer’s unused sick leave. The bill further provides that the remaining value of sick leave shall be available to pay for that portion of the officer’s group health insurance premium that would otherwise be paid for by the employer if the officer were still employed by the employer.
