An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Suzanne L. Soucie, an employee of the trial court.

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

AN ACT ESTABLISHING A SICK LEAVE BANK FOR SUZANNE L. SOUCIE, AN EMPLOYEE OF THE TRIAL COURT.

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 trial court, 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 or rule or regulation to the contrary, the trial court shall establish a sick leave bank for Suzanne L. Soucie, an employee of the trial court.  Any employee of the trial court may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Suzanne L. Soucie.  Whenever Suzanne L. Soucie terminates employment with the trial court or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, the balance of the sick leave time shall be transferred to the trial court paid sick leave bank.
