Whereas , The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately establish a sick leave bank for a certain employee of the trial court of the commonwealth, 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 the provisions of any general or special law, rule or regulation to the contrary, the trial court of the commonwealth is hereby authorized and directed to establish a sick leave bank for Gina B. O'Neill, an employee of the Dukes division of the probate and family court department of said trial court. Any employee of said trial court may voluntarily contribute one or more of his sick, personal or vacation days to said sick leave bank for use by said Gina B. O'Neill.
