Texas SB1002 establishes a county employee family leave pool program, allowing employees to contribute and withdraw leave for specified reasons.

Texas SB1002 amends the Local Government Code to create a county employee family leave pool program. County employees can voluntarily contribute accrued sick or vacation leave to the pool. Withdrawals are permitted for specific reasons, including childbirth, adoption, guardianship, serious illness, and pandemic-related care. The pool administrator determines withdrawal amounts, with a limit of one-third of the pool or 90 days. Employees can use withdrawn time as sick leave. The estate of a deceased employee is not entitled to unused withdrawn time.
