Relating to compensatory time and vacation leave accrued by an employee of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

HB 4929 amends Texas law governing time-off policies for employees of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). It requires TDCJ employees to use accrued compensatory time (time off instead of overtime pay) within 24 months of earning it, and if unused, the time converts to vacation leave rather than being lost. The bill updates existing rules in the Government Code to ensure unused compensatory time is added to employees' vacation balances. This applies to all compensatory time earned before, during, or after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025.
