A bill for an act providing credit for accrued sick leave for certain law enforcement officers.

This bill allows eligible law enforcement officers retiring after July 1, 2025, to receive a cash payment for unused sick leave, capped at $2,000. The payment equals the value of accrued sick leave hours multiplied by the officer's hourly rate at retirement. Officers can also use remaining sick leave value to pay their share of group health insurance premiums, continuing until the balance is exhausted, they qualify for Medicare, or they die. It excludes officers covered by collective bargaining agreements that already address sick leave credit.
