Committee recommends passage of noncontroversial bill aligning leave accruals for public employees serving in the Legislature
Summary
Senate File 36,93, presented as noncontroversial, would harmonize provisions in two statutory chapters so state, county and municipal employees who serve in the Legislature are treated consistently for vacation and personnel rules; committee recommended placement on General Orders.
Senator Johnson presented Senate File 36,93 as a simple, noncontroversial statutory cleanup intended to create parity between employees who serve in the Legislature. The sponsor said the bill reconciles provisions in two chapters of state statute relating to state employees and local government employees so that accrual and personnel rules are aligned.
Specifically, the sponsor described that one chapter provides rules for state employees who choose to serve in the Legislature and another covers employees of cities and counties; SF 36,93 brings those provisions into alignment so personnel rules are consistent across state, county and city employees. The sponsor characterized the change as a confirming technical change; the bill passed the House unanimously and the committee recommended it be placed on General Orders.
The motion to recommend passage carried by voice vote; no roll‑call tally is recorded in the committee transcript.
What’s next: SF 36,93 was recommended to pass and be placed on General Orders for further floor consideration.
