John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB833 by Carona (Relating to the accrual of vacation and sick leave for certain state employees on a military leave of absence.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to allow a state employee to continue to accrue vacation and sick leave while on unpaid leave of absence for military duty. The bill would have no fiscal impact on the employees' employing agencies.
Granting additional vacation and sick leave accruals could increase the amount of unused vacation and sick leave that members of the Employees Retirement System could convert to service credit at retirement. Less than 500 state employees are on unpaid leave of absence during military duty, therefore, the bill would have no material impact on the ERS trust fund.
If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2009.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
