_______________
In the One Hundred and Ninety-Second General Court
(2021-2022)
_______________
An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Tara Blodgett.
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 Developmental
Services, 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 to the contrary, the Department of
2 Developmental Services shall establish a sick leave bank for Tara Blodgett, 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 Tara Blodgett. If Tara Blodgett terminates
5 employment with the department or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, any remaining time
6 in the sick leave bank shall be transferred to the extended illness leave bank. Sick leave bank
7 days shall not be used for absences unrelated to the illness or disability that necessitated the
8 establishment of the sick leave bank as determined by the department.
