Law
Public defender, sick time
STATE OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES – Amends existing law to provide for certain credited state service and utilization of unused sick leave for certain eligible nonclassified officers and employees hired by the Office of the State Public Defender before January 1, 2025.

RS31575 / H0697

With the creation of the State Public Defender's Office, county employees will move over as an employee to the State of Idaho. Employees moving to the State Public Defender's Office will receive comparable accrual rates based upon their county PERSI hours. Employees will be allowed transfer up to 40 hours of unused sick leave. Funds from the counties will be deposited into the Public Defense Fund to pay for unused sick leave hours transferred by each employee.

This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government, nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government, therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
