An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Maritza Miranda, an employee of the Department of Children and Families.

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 children and families, 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 or rule or regulation to the contrary, the department of children and families shall establish a sick leave bank for Maritza Miranda, an employee of the department of children and families, to care for her spouse.  Any employee of the department of children and families may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by said Maritza Miranda.  Upon such time as said Maritza Miranda terminates employment with the department of children and families or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, any remaining time in the sick leave bank shall be transferred to the extended illness 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 of children and families.
