A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT providing two days of adverse weather leave to state employees under certain circumstances.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  Article 2 of Chapter 126 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read:
"§ 126‑8.5.  Adverse weather leave.
The amount of leave granted to each full‑time State employee shall include up to two days of paid adverse weather leave to be used when inclement weather events prevent the employee from traveling to work. Adverse weather leave may only be taken when the Governor declares that inclement weather conditions have rendered travel within part or all of the State unsafe. Unused adverse weather leave may not be shared or transferred nor may the days be paid out when the employee separates from employment."
SECTION 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 2005.
