Committee moves to codify temporary disability provision for confidential state employees (LD 2093)
Summary
The committee unanimously recommended LD 2093 'ought to pass.' The bill repeals a provision in private and special law (1989 ch. 86, part C §5) and enacts it into the main revised statutes with stylistic drafting changes; analysts say the change is intended to make the law easier to find and is non‑substantive.
The committee unanimously voted to report LD 2093 'ought to pass.' Committee analyst Kristen explained that the bill repeals a provision of private and special law (1989 chapter 86, part C section 5) governing temporary disability benefits for confidential state employees and reenacts the provision into the main revised statutes with minor drafting and definitional clarifications. The department’s testimony and the reviser’s changes were described as stylistic rather than substantive; OFPR had not yet determined a fiscal impact during the work session.
Representative Greenwood noted the bill's long history and moved the committee recommendation to pass; the motion carried unanimously with 10 members present. The committee directed the usual language review steps prior to final action.
