                            CHAPTER 581-H.F.No. 2567 
                  An act relating to state government; permitting state 
                  employees to donate vacation leave for the benefit of 
                  a certain state employee. 
        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
           Section 1.  [LEAVE DONATION PROGRAM.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [DONATION.] A state employee may donate up 
        to 12 hours of accrued vacation leave for the benefit of an 
        employee of the pollution control agency whose child requires a 
        bone marrow transplant.  The number of hours donated must be 
        credited to the sick leave account of the receiving state 
        employee.  If the receiving state employee uses all of the 
        donated time, up to 50 additional hours per employee of accrued 
        vacation leave may be donated.  Vacation donation permitted by 
        this section is in addition to that permitted under Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 43A.181. 
           Subd. 2.  [PROCESS FOR CREDITING.] The donating employee 
        must notify the employee's agency head of the amount of accrued 
        vacation leave time the employee wishes to donate.  The agency 
        head shall transfer that amount to the sick leave account of the 
        recipient.  A donation of accrued vacation leave time is 
        irrevocable once it has been transferred to the account. 
           Sec. 2.  [LEAVE DONATION PROGRAM.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [DONATION OF VACATION TIME.] A state 
        employee may donate up to 12 hours of accrued vacation leave for 
        the benefit of a state department of military affairs employee 
        whose efforts to aid victims of an automobile accident resulted 
        in his total disability in January 1994.  The vacation hours 
        donated must be credited to the sick leave account of the 
        receiving state employee.  If the receiving state employee uses 
        all donated time, additional hours, up to 50 hours per employee, 
        of accrued vacation leave time may be donated.  
           Subd. 2.  [PROCESS FOR CREDITING.] The donating employee 
        must notify the employee's agency head of the accrued vacation 
        time the employee wishes to donate.  The agency head shall 
        transfer that amount to the sick leave account of the 
        recipient.  A donation of accrued vacation leave time is 
        irrevocable once it has been transferred to the recipient's 
        account. 
           Sec. 3.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
           Section 1 is effective the day following final enactment, 
        and applies retroactively to March 1, 1994. 
           Section 2 is effective the day following final enactment.
