(a)The governing board of a community college district may establish a catastrophic leave program to permit employees of that district to donate eligible leave credits to an employee when that employee or a member of his or her family suffers from a catastrophic illness or injury. For the purposes of this section, the following terms are defined as follows:

(1)“Catastrophic illness” or “injury” means an illness or injury that is expected to incapacitate the employee for an extended period of time, or that incapacitates a member of the employee’s family which incapacity requires the employee to take time off from work for an extended period of time to care for that family member, and taking extended time off work creates a financial hardship for the employee because he or she has exhausted all of his or her sick leave and other paid time off.

(2)“Eligible leave credits” means vacation leave and sick leave accrued to the donating employee.
