State employees; remove requirement to use one day of personal leave before using major medical leave.

HB 411 removes a requirement that Mississippi state employees must use one day of accrued personal or compensatory leave before accessing major medical leave. The bill directly affects all state employees covered under Section 25-3-95 (excluding some public university faculty not contributing to retirement systems). Under the change, employees can immediately use major medical leave without first exhausting personal leave days. This simplifies the process for employees needing medical leave for themselves or immediate family members, as certified by a physician. The bill does not alter the accrual rates, eligibility, or other provisions of major medical leave.
