An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Antoinette Romes, an employee of the Department of Transitional Assistance.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

SECTION 1. The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to establish forthwith sick leave banks for certain employees of the trial court, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

SECTION 2.           Notwithstanding any general or special law, rule or regulation to the contrary, the department of transitional assistance shall establish a sick leave bank for Antoinette Romes, an employee of the Department of Transitional Assistance.  Any employee of the Department of Transitional Assistance may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Antoinette Romes.
