Repeals and reenacts section 105.935, RSMo, relating to overtime compensation and vacation leave for state employees.

Allows state employees who accrue overtime hours to use them as compensatory leave time with supervisor approval.

Requires departments to pay nonexempt state employees in full annually (beginning January 1, 2006) for overtime hours not already paid or used, with employees able to retain up to 80 compensatory time hours.

Requires departments to notify legislative budget committees and the commissioner of administration by November 1st each year regarding actual and estimated overtime payments.
