 3 amended and a new paragraph d is added to read as follows:
 4 b. The benefits provided thereby may be made available to state offi-
 5 cers and employees in the division of military and naval affairs in the
 6 executive department; [and]
 7 c. Unless any group insurance or mass merchandising policy or program
 8 offered pursuant to this section is funded by payroll deductions in
 9 accordance with subdivision three of section two hundred one of the
 10 state finance law, such policy or program shall be funded by specific
 11 appropriation of monies of the state, provided, however, both payroll
 12 deductions and state appropriations may be utilized to fund any such
 13 policy or program[.]; and
 14 d. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any state employee who
 15 is eligible for group insurance under this section shall receive sick

 18 leave. Such employees shall be eligible to be granted and use sick
 19 leave at half-pay upon the exhaustion of their sick leave accruals. The
 20 cumulative total of all sick leave at half-pay granted to an eligible
 21 employee may not exceed one payroll period for each six months of
 22 completed state service.
 23 § 2. This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeed-
 24 ing the date on which it shall have become a law.
