Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would allow members of the Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System to count up to 10 days of unpaid leave taken for religious holidays toward their retirement service credit. Currently, those unpaid days may not be included in the calculation of time worked, which can affect a teacher's retirement benefits. The emergency designation means it would take effect immediately if signed into law. Who it may affect: teachers and other school employees who are members of the Teachers' Retirement System and have taken unpaid days off to observe religious holidays.
