In the One Hundred and Ninety-Third General Court
(2023-2024)

_______________

An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Matthew McRae.

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 State Police, 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 State Police shall establish a sick leave bank for Matthew McRae, an employee of the State Police. Any employee of the State Police may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal, or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Matthew McRae. If Matthew McRae terminates employment with the State Police or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, any remaining time in the sick leave bank shall be transferred to the State Police paid 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 State Police.
