HB 26-1413

House Bill 26-1413, which has been signed into law, enhances benefits for public servants in Colorado. It removes the limit on sick days from 10 to an unlimited amount per fiscal year for state employees. Additionally, it increases military leave from 3 weeks to 4 weeks per leave year for officers and employees of the state and its subdivisions. This means that public workers will have more flexibility with their time off for both personal health needs and military service obligations.
