A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the use of personal leave during school holidays by
certain school district employees.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 22.003, Education Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (g) to read as follows:
(g)
A school district employee with available personal
leave under the state minimum personal leave program is entitled to
use the leave for compensation for a day designated as a school
holiday for which the employee would otherwise not receive
compensation. An employee may not use more than two of the personal
leave days provided to the employee per year under the program for
days designated as school holidays during that year. This
subsection applies only to a school district employee:
(1)
who is not exempt from the overtime provisions of
the federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. Section 201
et seq.); and
(2) whose pay is not annualized.
SECTION 2. This Act applies beginning with the 2025-2026
school year.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
