Notwithstanding any general or special law or rule or regulation to the contrary, the department of developmental services shall establish a sick leave bank for Mary M. Stanton, an employee of the department. Any employee of the department may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Mary M. Stanton. Whenever Mary M. Stanton 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. 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.
