Senate Bill 305
Committee: Finance and Taxation EducationSponsor: Senator Vivian Davis Figures
Analyst: John Friedenreich Date: 04/25/2024
Senate Bill 305 as reported by the Committee on Finance and Taxation Education would
decrease potential savings of state entities by an estimated maximum of $6,400 per eligible
employee that utilizes six weeks of paid leave for the birth or adoption of a child, pursuant to the
provisions of this bill, and who otherwise would have utilized unpaid leave. This bill would also
provide that the parental leave provided to state employees would not require the use of any
accrued personal leave, sick leave, or requested leave donations and would repeal current law
regarding donation of leave for maternity or adoption.
This bill could increase the obligations of state agencies by an undetermined amount dependent
on the costs of hiring additional personnel to backfill any positions for eligible employees using
paid parental leave as provided by this bill.
Additionally, this bill would increase the obligations of the local boards of education by an
estimated maximum of $3,750, per eligible employee utilizing the full six weeks of paid leave
pursuant to the provisions of this bill, based on the average daily rate to provide a substitute
employee for a certified or non-certified employee.
