An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Racquel Jean-Louis, an employee of the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department.

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 Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department shall establish a sick leave bank for Racquel Jean- Louis, an employee of the sheriff’s department. Any employee of the Suffolk county sheriff’s department may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Racquel Jean- Louis. 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 sheriff’s department. Whenever Racquel Jean- Louis terminates employment with the sheriff’s department 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.
