    An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Patrick Burns, an employee of the Department of
    Correction.
            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 correction,
    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, and by the authority
    of the same, as follows:
1           Notwithstanding any general or special law or rule or regulation to the contrary, the
2   department of correction shall establish a sick leave bank for Patrick Burns, an employee of the
3   department. Any employee of the department may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal
4   or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Patrick Burns. Sick leave bank days shall not
5   be used for absences unrelated to the illness or disability that necessitated the establishment of
6   the sick leave bank as determined by the department. Whenever Patrick Burns terminates
7   employment with the department or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, any remaining time
8   in the sick leave bank shall be transferred to the extended illness leave bank.
                                                         1 of 1
