BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Prior to the 77th Legislature, a state employee had to apply to the sick
leave pool administrator to contribute to the sick leave pool. House Bill
569 makes it easier for state employees to contribute to the sick leave
pool by removing the provision that a state employee must first apply to
the sick leave pool administrator. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 569 amends the Government Code relating to a state employee's
contribution of accrued sick leave to the sick leave pool.  The bill
removes provisions stating that an employee must apply to the pool
administrator and receive approval to contribute to the sick leave pool.  

EFFECTIVE DATE
