An Act establishing a sick leave bank for John Carlson, an employee of the Department of State Police.

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 State Police shall establish a sick leave bank for John Carlson, an employee of the Department of State Police. Any employee of the Department may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by John Carlson. 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. Whenever John Carlson terminates employment with the 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.
