What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, state legislators and state employees are generally entitled to receive paid sick leave as part of their compensation. If a state legislator or employee does not use all of his or her sick leave during a calendar year, he or she may accumulate unused sick leave from year to year in a sick leave account.
Generally, if a state legislator leaves office or a state employee terminates employment and meets certain conditions related to age or years of employment, his or her accumulated unused sick leave may be converted, at his or her highest basic pay rate, to credits for the payment of postretirement health insurance premiums under a health insurance plan administered by the Group Insurance Board.
