An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Jocelyn Burns, an employee of the Trial Court.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

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 trial court, 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 trial court shall establish a sick leave bank for Jocelyn Burns, an employee of the Suffolk Superior court probation department of the trial court.  Any employee of the trial court may voluntarily contribute 1 or more of his sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Jocelyn Burns.  Whenever Jocelyn Burns terminates employment with the trial court or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, the balance of sick leave shall be transferred to the trial court paid leave bank.  Sick leave bank days shall 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.
