AI Summary
This bill allows for a lump sum payment of accrued and unused personal leave to the estate of a full-time county school board employee if their employment ends due to death. This payment, which cannot exceed $6,000, will be made to the employee's personal representative, meaning the person legally authorized to manage their estate, at their usual rate of pay. Importantly, this payment will not be subject to deductions for retirement contributions and will not be included when calculating the employee's final average salary, which is often used for retirement benefits. The payment is to be made within one month of being requested.
