Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Requiring school administrative units (SAU's) to grant up to 15 days of "COVID-19 related" sick leave to public school employees affected by the illness caused by COVID-19 and to restore "regular" sick leave days used after January 1, 2021 until the employee has been granted a maximum of 15 "COVID-19 related" sick days may result in increased costs to local school administrative units if the SAU pays more in total sick leave benefits and substitute teacher costs than it would have absent this legislation.  The impact on individual SAU's will depend on actual experience.
