Summary

The bill creates an optional benefit that lets the personal representative of a deceased full‑time county board of education employee collect a lump‑sum payment for accrued, unused personal leave. Payments are limited to $6,000, are made at the employee’s current pay rate, and are not subject to retirement deductions or included in final salary calculations. It aims to provide financial support to the families of educators who die while still employed.
