House Bill 2509 amends Local Government Code provisions relating to the business leave time account for a police officer employee organization in certain municipalities with a population of one million or more. The bill makes the current procedure for authorizing member donations of accumulated vacation or compensatory time to such an account contingent on the majority of the organization's membership not having affirmatively voted to require member contributions to the account. The bill adds an additional procedure for authorizing member donations to such an account, contingent on the majority of the organization's membership having affirmatively voted to require member contributions to the account, requiring the municipality to transfer donated time to the account from the accumulated vacation or compensatory time of each police officer who is a member of the organization in the amount approved by vote of the organization not to exceed the maximum authorized amount. The bill sets out requirements for the transfer of donated time.
House Bill 2509 repeals a statutory provision prohibiting an employee organization from using for business leave purposes more than 4,000 hours from its business leave time account in a calendar year.
