A. The governing body of a municipality may grant leave with

pay not to exceed fifteen (15) working days to a municipal employee

of the employee was damaged or destroyed as a result of the

disaster.

B. As used in this section:

1. “Relative of the employee” shall be limited to the spouse,

child, stepchild, grandchild, grandparent, stepparent, or parent of

the employee; and

2. “Household members” means those persons who reside in the

same home, who have reciprocal duties to and do provide financial

support for one another. This term shall include foster children

and legal wards even if they do not live in the household. The term

A of this section shall extend for a period of not more than six (6)

months after the date of a presidentially declared national

disaster.

subsection A of this section, may be reinstated by the governing

body. A municipal employee entitled to leave with pay pursuant to

this section who was charged leave without pay shall be compensated

at the base rate of pay of the employee.
