SCHOOLS: Provides sick leave for school employees under certain circumstances. (gov sig) (EN SEE FISC NOTE LF EX)

This bill modifies the existing sick leave policy for school employees by adding a specific definition for "disabled" to the law. It directly affects teachers and staff who may need to take leave due to disability, ensuring their eligibility is clearly defined under state regulations. The key change involves inserting a legal reference to a specific statute that outlines what constitutes a disability, thereby clarifying the conditions under which employees can use sick leave. This amendment aims to provide greater clarity and consistency in how sick leave is granted to school workers facing health challenges.
