The bill proposes the establishment of a sick leave bank specifically for Nancy Jean Richard, an employee of the Department of Developmental Services in Massachusetts. It allows employees from both the Department of Developmental Services and the Division of Administrative Law Appeals to voluntarily contribute their sick, personal, or vacation days to this bank for Richard's use. The bill emphasizes that the sick leave bank is intended for her illness or disability and cannot be used for unrelated absences.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the management of the sick leave bank. If Nancy Jean Richard either terminates her employment or requests the dissolution of the sick leave bank, any remaining days will be transferred to the extended illness leave bank. The bill is classified as an emergency law, indicating its immediate necessity for public convenience.
