AN ACT ESTABLISHING A SICK LEAVE BANK FOR RONALD JAMES AN EMPLOYEE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL RETARDATION

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is 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.

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

SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any general or special law, rule or regulation to the contrary, the department of mental retardation shall establish a sick leave bank for Ronald James, and employee of said department.  Any employee of said department may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to said sick leave bank for use by Ronald James. Whenever Ronald James 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 extended illness sick leave bank.
