Section 1. The City Council of the City of La Porte hereby
adopts the provisions of Article 8309h, Section 5(c), Workmen's
Compensation Insurance for Employees of Political Subdivisions,
Texas Revised Civil Statutes, which reads as follows, to-wit:
"(c) By a majority vote, the governing body of a political
subdivision may provide that during the time an employee of a
political subdivision is receiving weekly compensation benefits
under this article that employee may elect to receive
previously accrued sick leave benefits, whether statutory or
contractual, in an amount equal to the difference in the weekly
payments of compensation under this article and the weekly
compensation that that employee was receiving prior to the
injury or illness resulting in the claim, with a proportionate
deduction in the employee's sick leave balance. The sum of
weekly payments of compensation under this article and the
amount of sick leave paid by the political subdivision may not
exceed the amount of weekly compensation that the employee was
receiving prior to the illness or injury that resulted in the
claim. This section may not be construed to limit in any way
the medical benefits to be paid to the employee, and no such
sick leave plan may require an employee to take sick leave
benefits before receiving benefits under the Texas Workers'
Compensation Act (S.B. No.1, Acts of the 7lst Legislature, 2nd
Called Session, 1989)."
