This bill amends R.S. 17:1208 to increase the number of personal leave days that teachers employed by parish or city school boards in Louisiana can take without loss of pay. Specifically, the bill changes the allowance from two days to four days per school year. Teachers must provide at least twenty-four hours' notice to their principal before taking this leave.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that personal leave will be charged against the teacher's sick leave for the current year or any accumulated sick leave, and it stipulates that personal leave cannot be carried over to subsequent years or compensated upon the teacher's death, retirement, or in any other manner.
