An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Brittany S. Ketcham, an employee of the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security.

 

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 executive office of public safety and security, 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 executive office of public safety and security shall establish a sick leave bank for Brittany S. Ketcham, an employee of the executive office. Any employee of the executive office may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Brittany S. Ketcham. If Brittany S. Ketcham terminates employment with the executive office 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 executive office.
