In the One Hundred and Eighty-Ninth General Court
(2015-2016)
_______________
An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Ellen Atkinson, an employee of the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission.
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 Massachusetts rehabilitation commission, 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 to the contrary, the Massachusetts rehabilitation commission shall establish a sick leave bank for Ellen Atkinson, an employee of the commission. Any employee of the commission, and any employee of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Ellen Atkinson. The University of Massachusetts Medical School shall notify the commission of a contribution to the sick leave bank, in writing, as soon as reasonably possible. If Ellen Atkinson terminates employment with the commission 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 commission.
