(c) The personnel board may adopt regulations to allow an exemption from the requirements of (b) of this section if the department or agency head certifies in writing that the officer or employee accumulated more than 1,000 hours of leave at the end of a 12-month period because the officer or employee was denied the opportunity to use personal leave.
(d) Each officer or employee who has a balance of accumulated personal leave in excess of 400 hours on December 16, 2013, shall, until that balance becomes 400 hours or less,
