An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Heidi Howard, an employee of the Department of Developmental Services.
Whereas
, The deferred operation for this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is forthwith to make a sick leave bank for a certain employee of the department of developmental services, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law,
necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Notwithstanding any general or special law, rule or
regulation to the contrary, the department of developmental services shall establish a sick leave bank for Heidi Howard, an employee of the department.
Any employee of the department may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to
the sick leave bank for use by Heidi Howard.
Whenever Heidi Howard terminates employment with the department or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, any remaining time in the sick leave bank shall be transferred to the extended illness leave bank.
Sick leave bank days may not be used for absences unrelated to the illness or disability that necessitated the establishment of the sick leave bank as determined by the department.
