   40         (c) The initial measurement period used to determine

   45         (d) All other measurement periods used to determine whether
   46  an employee paid from OPS funds is a full-time employee

   49         Section 2. Subsection (5) is added to section 110.12303,

   68  deductible under s. 223 of the Internal Revenue Code has been
   69  satisfied.
   70         Section 3. This act shall take effect January 1, 2025.
