An Act establishing a sick leave bank for James Coveney, 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:

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 trial court, 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 trial court shall establish a sick leave bank for Sheila Mahan, an employee of the trial court.  Any employee of said trial court may voluntarily contribute one or more of his sick, personal or vacation days to said sick leave bank for use by said James Coveney.  Upon such time as said James Coveney terminates with said department of the trial court or requests to dissolve said sick leave bank, the balance of sick leave shall be transferred to the department of the trial court paid leave bank.
