The bill amends existing laws regarding municipal law enforcement, specifically focusing on holiday compensation, annual vacation leave, and sick leave for full-time law enforcement officers. It establishes that all full-time law enforcement officers employed by cities of the first or second class or incorporated towns will receive compensation for legal holidays based on their daily rate of pay, which will be in addition to their regular pay. The bill also stipulates that annual vacation leave must be granted to full-time employees, allowing for a minimum of fifteen working days with full pay, and unused vacation leave can be compensated upon retirement or the end of service.

Additionally, the bill outlines provisions for sick leave accumulation for full-time law enforcement officers, allowing them to accumulate sick leave at a rate of twenty working days per year, with a maximum accumulation of sixty days unless otherwise authorized by municipal ordinance. It specifies that sick leave can only be charged for days the officer is scheduled to work and ensures that officers are compensated for unused sick leave upon retirement or death, with a cap on the amount payable. The bill also allows cities to adopt a catastrophic leave program for officers with chronic or fatal illnesses.
