Introduced·1/16/26

Allows educators to donate sick leave to colleagues for maternity leave.

West Virginia HB4485 establishes a leave donation program for educators, allowing them to donate sick leave to colleagues experiencing maternity leave. The donated leave can be used for maternity leave and cannot be used for retirement or insurance purposes. The donated leave is deducted from the donor's leave balance and credited to the recipient's balance. The bill also outlines the process for leave transfer and specifies that employees cannot be compelled to donate leave.
