Bill > HB2812

This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding payments for accumulated sick leave upon retirement for state and county officers and employees. Key changes include increasing the maximum payout for accumulated sick leave from $30,000 to $57,600, and clarifying that payments can be made in a lump sum or over a three-year period. The bill also specifies that the cash value of sick leave credit is not used to calculate average salary for retirement purposes and that these payments are not considered salary or compensation for retirement contributions or pension benefits. Additionally, it clarifies that only sick leave available for use at the time of termination is eligible for payment, not previously forfeited leave, and outlines specific eligibility requirements related to retirement dates and authorized retirement systems. The bill also applies retroactively to certain university employees participating in federal retirement systems under specific conditions.
