Caption from analyzed text · version I.
Personal leave covers unpaid school holidays. Two days a year, max.
The bill lets certain school district employees use state personal leave to get paid for school holidays when they would otherwise go unpaid. It covers only hourly-type employees who are not exempt from federal overtime rules and whose pay is not spread over the year, and it caps this use at two personal leave days per year. Starting with the 2027-2028 school year, those workers can turn up to two unpaid holidays into paid days.

90R2289 GP-D By: Raymond H.B. No. 409 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to the use of personal leave during school holidays by certain school district employees. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: SECTION 1. Section 22.003, Education Code, is amended by adding Subsection (g) to read as follows: (g) A school district employee with available personal leave under the state minimum personal leave program is entitled to use the leave for compensation for a day designated as a school holiday for which the employee would otherwise not receive compensation. An employee may not use more than two of the personal leave days provided to the employee per year under the program for days designated as school holidays during that year. This subsection applies only to a school district employee: (1) who is not exempt from the overtime provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. Section 201 et seq.); and (2) whose pay is not annualized. SECTION 2. This Act applies beginning with the 2027-2028 school year. SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2027.
