The proposed strike-everything amendment to SB 1004 allows the director of the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to grant industrial injury leave to sworn DPS employees, and requires the law enforcement merit system council to adopt rules allowing the transfer of accumulated annual leave between employees in different agencies who are family members.

·                      Specifies that the injury leave is in addition to vacation or sick leave and does not affect the employee’s eligibility for other benefits, including worker’s compensation.

 

·                      States that an employee forfeits any unused injury leave and is not eligible for payment upon retirement or reclassification to civilian status.

 

·                      Requires the director of DPS to adopt rules and procedures regarding industrial injury leave hours, subject to approval by the law enforcement merit system council.

 

·                      Allows the transfer of accumulated annual leave from one employee to another employee of another agency, department, board or commission if the employees are members of the same family.
