An Act establishing a sick leave bank for John "Jack" Bevelaqua and employee of the Department of Energy Resources..

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 would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to establish forthwith a sick leave bank for a certain employee of the Department of Energy Resources.  Therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

Section 1.  Notwithstanding any general or special law or rule or regulation to the contrary, the Department of Energy Resources shall establish a sick leave bank for John “Jack” Bevelaqua, 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 John “Jack” Bevelaqua for the period of August 21 to September 8, 2009 when he was absent from work because of illness and was not compensated.  Any days in excess of the stated number of days shall be transferred to the extended illness leave bank
