                            CHAPTER 353-H.F.No. 2783 
                  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 Minnesota state lottery or the St. Peter 
        regional treatment center who has cancer.  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.  The receiving state 
        employee may not receive more than 80 hours of sick leave from 
        donations under this section within any given pay period.  
        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.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
           Section 1 is effective the day following final enactment 
        and applies retroactively to December 15, 1995.
