The bill titled "An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Kathleen Rodrigue" proposes the creation of a sick leave bank specifically for Kathleen Rodrigue, an employee of the Department. It allows other employees within the Department to voluntarily contribute one or more of their sick, personal, or vacation days to this bank for Rodrigue's use. The bill stipulates that if Rodrigue either terminates her employment or requests the dissolution of the sick leave bank, any remaining days in the bank will be transferred to the extended illness leave bank. Additionally, the bill specifies that the sick leave bank days cannot be used for absences unrelated to the illness or disability that led to the establishment of the bank, as determined by the Department.

The bill includes new legal language that emphasizes the voluntary nature of contributions to the sick leave bank and outlines the conditions under which the bank can be dissolved. It also clarifies the restrictions on the use of sick leave bank days, ensuring they are reserved for the specific illness or disability of Kathleen Rodrigue. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
