An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Jeffrey Yacinthe.

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 Department of Elementary and Secondary Education shall establish a sick leave bank for Jeffrey Yacinthe, an employee of the Department.. Any employee of the Department of Secondary and Elementary Education may voluntarily contribute one or more sick, personal, or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Jeffrey Yacinthe. If Jeffrey Yacinthe 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 Department of Elementary and Secondary Education-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 Department.
