Sec. 6367. Receipt and use of leave from a leave bank

    (a) An application to receive contributions of leave from a leave 
bank, whether submitted by or on behalf of an employee--
        (1) shall be submitted to the Leave Bank Board of the employing 
    agency of the proposed leave recipient; and
        (2) shall include--
            (A) the name, position title, and grade or pay level of the 
        proposed leave recipient;
            (B) the reasons why leave is needed, including a brief 
        description of the nature, severity, anticipated duration, and, 
        if it is a recurring one, the approximate frequency of the 
        medical emergency involved;
            (C) if such Board so requires, certification from 1 or more 
        physicians, or other appropriate experts, with respect to any 
        matter under subparagraph (B); and
            (D) any other information which such Board may reasonably 
        require.

    If a Board requires that an employee obtain certification under 
    paragraph (2)(C) from 2 or more sources, the agency shall ensure, 
    either by direct payment to the expert involved or by reimbursement, 
    that the employee is not required to pay for the expenses associated 
    with obtaining certification from more than 1 of such sources.

    (b) The Leave Bank Board of an employing agency may approve an 
application submitted under subsection (a).
    (c) A leave recipient may use annual leave received from the leave 
bank established by the employing agency of such employee under this 
subchapter in the same manner and for the same purposes as if such leave 
recipient had accrued such leave under section 6303, except that any 
annual leave and, if applicable, any sick leave accrued or accumulated 
to the leave recipient shall be used before any leave from the leave 
bank may be used.
    (d) Transferred annual leave--
        (1) may accumulate without regard to any limitation under 
    section 6304; and
        (2) may be substituted retroactively for any period of leave 
    without pay, or used to liquidate an indebtedness for any period of 
    advanced leave, which began on or after a date fixed by the 
    employing agency of the employee as the beginning of the medical 
    emergency involved.

    (e) Except to the extent that the Office of Personnel Management may 
prescribe regulations, nothing in the provisions of section 7351 shall 
apply to any solicitation, contribution, or use of leave to or from a 
leave bank under this subchapter.
