An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Kara Turco, an employee of the Middlesex County Sheriff's Department.

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to establish a sick leave bank for an employee of the Middlesex County Sheriff's Department, 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 Middlesex County Sheriff’s Department shall establish a sick leave bank for Kara Turco, an employee of the sheriff’s department. Any employee of the Middlesex county sheriff’s department may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal, or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Kara Turco. 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 Kara Turco 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.
