An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Dorothy Lafratta, 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:

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 department of transitional assistance, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

Notwithstanding any general or special law, rule or regulation to the contrary, the department of transitional assistance shall establish a sick leave bank for Dorothy Lafratta,  an employee of the department.  Any employee of the department may voluntarily contribute l or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Dorothy Lafratta.  Whenever Dorothy Lafratta  terminates employment with the department or request to dissolve the sick leave bank, the balance of sick leave shall be transferred to the extended illness leave bank.
