Summary

SB250 would broaden Alabama's state employee leave donation program to allow donations of annual, compensatory, and sick leave across all branches and pay grades for catastrophic illness or maternity leave, with hour-for-hour accounting.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, the bill allows donations of annual, compensatory, and sick leave to occur between all state employees in the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. The recipient can be in an equal, higher, or lower pay grade than the donor, removing the previous restriction. Donated leave is calculated on an hour-for-hour basis, and the personnel departments will develop and implement the necessary rules and procedures. The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage.

Who It Affects

• State employees who donate leave, who can give up their leave to colleagues across all branches without pay-grade restrictions for catastrophic illness or maternity leave.
• State employees who receive donated leave, who may be in any pay grade (equal/higher/lower than the donor) and across all branches, to cover catastrophic illness or maternity leave.

Key Provisions

• Recipients may be in any pay grade relative to the donor; donor's pay grade limits only apply in determining eligibility for the donor to give.
• Donated leave is calculated on an hour-for-hour basis.
• State personnel departments across branches must coordinate to promulgate and implement the administrative rules and procedures necessary to carry out the section.
• Effective date: the first day of the third month following passage and governor’s approval (or becoming law otherwise).
