The bill proposes the establishment of a sick leave bank specifically for Ankita Gajendra Patel, an employee of the Department of Corrections in Massachusetts. It allows other employees within the department to voluntarily contribute their sick, personal, or vacation days to this bank for Patel's use. The bill emphasizes the urgency of its enactment by declaring it an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of public convenience.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unused days in the sick leave bank will be transferred to the extended illness leave bank upon Patel's termination of employment or her request to dissolve the sick leave bank. It also clarifies that the sick leave bank days cannot be used for absences unrelated to the illness or disability that led to the creation of the bank, as determined by the department.
