Bill > H4565

This bill establishes a special sick leave bank specifically for Marie Letendre, an employee of the Department of Transitional Assistance. Under this legislation, other employees of the department can voluntarily donate one or more of their own sick, personal, or vacation days to create a pool of leave time that Marie Letendre can use during her illness or disability. The bill includes provisions that if Letendre leaves her employment or requests to dissolve the bank, any remaining donated days will be transferred to the department's extended illness leave bank. Importantly, the sick leave bank days can only be used for absences directly related to the specific illness or disability that prompted the bank's creation, as determined by the Department of Transitional Assistance. The bill is characterized as an emergency law, suggesting there is an urgent need to support Marie Letendre's medical situation by providing her with additional leave time beyond her standard employee benefits.
