Session Laws

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately clarify collective bargaining for former employees of Blue Hills Technical Institute, 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 professional and nonprofessional employees who were employed at Blue Hills Technical Institute on the date it was discontinued and who were subsequently immediately employed as professional or nonprofessional employees at Massasoit Community College and who have been continuously employed as of the effective date of this act, may collectively bargain over a pro-rated credit for purposes of employment at said Massasoit Community College of the unused sick leave each such employee had accumulated during such employee's employment at Blue Hills Technical Institute as of the date said Institute was discontinued.
