AR HB1600

Amends Arkansas Code to clarify that holiday compensation, vacation leave, and sick leave provisions apply specifically to "full-time" law enforcement officers employed by first class cities, second class cities, and incorporated towns

Full-time law enforcement officers must receive minimum 15 working days of annual vacation leave with full pay, with unused leave payable upon end of service or retirement at the employee's regular rate

Sick leave accumulates at 20 working days per year beginning one year after employment, with unused sick leave accumulating to a maximum of 60 days unless a municipality authorizes more by ordinance

Payment for unused sick leave upon retirement or death cannot exceed 60 days' salary unless the city authorizes a greater amount by ordinance, with an absolute cap of 90 days' salary

Allows first and second class cities and incorporated towns to adopt catastrophic leave programs that include a "presumptive illness list" for municipal police departments covering chronic or fatal illnesses
