An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Matthew Charleson, an employee of the Department of Correction

    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 immediately establish a sick leave bank for a certain employee of the department of correction, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

SECTION 1 Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law, rule or regulation to the contrary, the department of correction shall establish a sick leave bank for Matthew Charleson, an employee of the department of correction. Any employee of said department of correction may voluntarily contribute 1 or more of his sick, personal or vacation days to said sick leave bank for use by said Matthew Charleson. Upon such time as said Matthew Charleson terminates with said department of correction or requests to dissolve said sick leave bank, the balance of sick leave shall be transferred to the department of the correction paid leave bank.
