    Subdivision 1.    With or without pay.  The governing 
 body of each city and town in the state of Minnesota, however 
 organized, may by resolution or ordinance provide for the 
 granting of vacations, with or without pay, to all its regularly 
 employed employees or officers, upon such terms and under such 
 conditions as said governing body may determine, and subject to 
 such requirements as to length of service with such municipality 
 as said governing body may require.  

    Subd. 2.    No retroactivity.  Nothing in subdivision 1 
 shall be construed as retroactive in its purpose or intent so as 
 to give the governing body of any such city or town the right to 
 grant vacations based on service of its employees or officers 
 rendered prior to the enactment of such ordinance or resolution. 

    Subd. 3.    Elected officials.  No elected official of a

 subdivision shall restrict an elected official from taking 
 vacation or sick leave time that may be provided for by 
 resolution or ordinance of the governing body of a statutory or 
 home rule charter city, county, town, school district, 
 metropolitan or regional agency, or other political subdivision 
 of this state.
