Whereas , The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to establish forthwith a sick leave bank for a certain employee of the department of correction, 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 department of correction may establish a sick leave bank for Marc Deschamps, an employee of the department. Any employee of the department may voluntarily contribute one or more of his sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Marc Deschamps.
