Committee approves cleanup bill clarifying leave accrual for full‑time city police officers
Summary
The committee passed a housekeeping measure that clarifies sick and annual leave accrual applies to full‑time city police officers and employees; sponsors said the change does not prevent local policy choices for part‑time staff.
The committee approved House Bill 1600, a cleanup bill clarifying that accrual of sick leave and annual leave for municipal employees applies to full‑time police officers and full‑time employees.
Sponsor Sen. Davis described the measure as a clarification: current law references police officers' ability to earn leave but does not specify full‑time status. "This just clarifies that it's full time, full time police officers, full time employees," Davis said, adding the bill does not prevent cities from creating policies allowing part‑time employees to accrue leave.
Committee members asked no substantive questions and there was no public testimony. The committee moved to pass the bill by motion; the motion carried.
The bill will proceed to further consideration on the Senate calendar.
