AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PAID TIME OFF FOR EDUCATION EMPLOYEES.

HB 421 amends Delaware state law to provide education employees with up to three paid days off to recover from injuries sustained while performing their job duties. This new provision allows staff to report these incidents to their building administrator and submit medical verification, ensuring the days are not counted against their regular sick leave and can be reinstated if another injury occurs. The bill also clarifies rules for other existing leave types, such as religious holidays and personal reasons, while maintaining the current cap on accumulated annual leave at 42 days.
