HB3964

Oklahoma HB3964 expands bereavement leave for state employees to include stillborn deaths and establishes a leave sharing program.

Oklahoma HB3964 amends state employee leave policies to include bereavement leave for stillborn deaths. It creates a state leave sharing program allowing employees to donate annual or sick leave to colleagues who have exhausted their leave and require family leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. Donated leave is transferable between employees and state entities. The bill also establishes a Leave of Last Resort Bank funded by voluntary donations from retiring or leaving employees, providing up to five days of leave per year for qualifying employees.
