Relating to the adoption of a mental health leave policy for certain qualified employees.

HB 4175 requires state and local agencies employing certain public safety workers to adopt mental health leave policies. It directly affects peace officers, jailers, telecommunicators (911 operators), and parole officers who experience traumatic events during work. The policy must guarantee no salary deduction, specify the number of leave days available, and protect the employee's anonymity when using leave. Agencies must also list available mental health services, but the leave is limited to work-related trauma and does not require medical certification.
