An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Carol A. Wall, an employee of the Department of Mental Retardation.

    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 mental

retardation, 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

department of mental retardation shall establish a sick leave bank for Carol A. Wall, an

employee of said department.  Any employee of said department may voluntarily

contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by said

Carol A. Wall.  Whenever said Carol A. Wall terminates employment with said

department or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, the balance of the sick leave time

shall be transferred to the department of mental retardation paid leave bank.
