Bill > HB6

This bill modifies Alabama state law regarding annual leave payments for law enforcement officers, expanding the existing provisions to include all ALEA (Alabama Law Enforcement Agency) law enforcement officers, including State Police Tier II Plan members. Currently, law enforcement officers in the Department of Public Safety could receive payment for accrued and unused annual leave days beyond 60 days, limited to 10 days per year. The bill updates this by replacing "Department of Public Safety" with "Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency" and allows ALEA officers to receive payment for up to 80 hours of accrued and unused annual leave per year, calculated at their regular rate of pay. This change is similar to an existing provision for Department of Corrections employees with law enforcement certifications who can also receive payment for up to 80 hours of unused annual leave annually. The bill will take effect on October 1, 2026, providing law enforcement officers with more flexibility in managing and potentially monetizing their accumulated annual leave.
