Bill > HB39

This bill establishes that legislators who are also employees of local government entities, referred to as "political subdivisions" (which includes cities, counties, and other local government bodies), must use their accrued paid time off, such as annual leave or compensatory leave, or take unpaid leave on days they attend legislative meetings for which they are eligible to receive per diem, which is a daily allowance for expenses. This requirement applies to both the legislator-employee and the political subdivision employer, ensuring that these employees do not lose their seniority or have their service with their local government employer interrupted due to their legislative duties.
