The bill, H.B. No. 1411, amends the Education Code by adding a new subsection that allows certain school district employees to use personal leave during school holidays. Specifically, it states that employees with available personal leave under the state minimum personal leave program are entitled to use up to two personal leave days per year for days designated as school holidays, for which they would otherwise not receive compensation. This provision applies only to employees who are not exempt from the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and whose pay is not annualized.

The bill is set to take effect at the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year. It will become effective immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from all elected members in both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
