This bill updates and codifies the law on temporary disability benefits for confidential state employees in Maine.

This bill repeals a specific provision of private and special law governing temporary disability for confidential state employees and incorporates it into the Maine Revised Statutes with minor changes. It defines "confidential employee" and "total disability," and outlines the eligibility, start, and end of temporary disability benefits. Benefits are capped at 365 days per tenure, with unused days carried over to subsequent periods. The bill also ensures that regular employment benefits continue during the period of temporary disability.
