Sir:

Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred S.B. No. 499, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to enable the Legislature to establish a leave sharing program to benefit employees who are in need of paid leave for qualified personal or medical reasons.

The Legislative Reference Bureau and a concerned individual testified in support of this measure.

Your Committee finds that this bill will provide legislative employees with the same leave sharing benefits that are now enjoyed by other state employees, if adopted separately by each house of the legislature and each legislative agency, or jointly by any combination of entities thereof.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 499, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
