Local Government Impact
  
The bill would allow peace officers and fire fighters employed by the
state, a municipality with a population over 200,000, or a county with a
population over 500,000 to donate an unlimited number of hours per month
of accumulated vacation or compensatory time to a time bank established
and maintained by the governmental body in the name of a peace officer
or fire fighter organization. The governmental body would manage the
account, which would involve minimal administrative costs.
