California AB642 allows school employees to donate leave credits to colleagues affected by catastrophic illness, injury, or state of emergency.

California AB642 amends the Education Code to allow governing boards of school districts, county offices of education, or charter schools to establish catastrophic leave programs. Eligible leave credits, such as vacation and sick leave, can be donated to employees suffering from catastrophic illness or injury, or those impacted by a state of emergency declared by the Governor. Donations require employee requests, verification, and approval by the governing board. Governing boards must adopt rules for program administration, including maximum leave duration and verification requirements.
