Regards assault leave policies at educational service centers

This bill allows educational service centers to create their own policies granting paid leave to employees who suffer physical disabilities from assaults while working. Under the new rules, a board must establish specific guidelines for using this leave and require employees to provide a signed statement and a doctor's certificate if medical treatment is needed. The leave is designed to be separate from existing sick leave balances and must be applied consistently within any district that chooses to adopt it. Misrepresenting the cause of an absence or falsifying medical documents could result in job suspension or termination.
