                  relating to the public employee vacation donation

           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 43A.181, 
        subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 3.  [USE OF ACCOUNT ASSETS.] Expenditures from the 
        account established by subdivision 2 may be made only to pay 
        unreimbursed medical expenses when the total of those expenses 
        is at least $10,000 and the expenses are incurred because of the 
        illness of or injury to a state employee or the employee's 
        spouse or dependent.  Up to 40 percent of the funds donated to 
        an individual employee's account may be used to pay for housing 
        and transportation accessibility costs required by the employee 
        who suffered an injury.  Any money remaining after all of the 
        unreimbursed medical expenses incurred by the employee named to 
        benefit from a donation have been paid may be transferred to a 
        general pool.  The commissioner may use the pool to pay 
        unreimbursed medical expenses for another state employee named 
        to benefit from donated vacation time but whose unreimbursed 
        expenses exceed the monetary value of the donated time. 
           Sec. 2.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
           Section 1 is effective the day following final enactment 
        and applies retroactively to July 1, 1993 and applies to 
        injuries that occurred on or after July 1, 1993.
