Bill > S2695

This bill establishes a sick leave bank specifically for Jonathan Cadigan, an employee of the Bristol County Sheriff's Department. The bill allows other employees of the department to voluntarily donate one or more of their sick, personal, or vacation days to create a pool of leave time that Cadigan can use during his illness or disability. If Cadigan leaves the department or requests the bank to be dissolved, any remaining days will be transferred to an extended illness leave bank. The donated sick leave can only be used for absences directly related to the specific illness or disability that prompted the creation of the bank, and the Sheriff's Department will determine the appropriateness of such absences. The bill is presented as an emergency measure, suggesting urgency in providing support for Cadigan's medical needs, and it overrides any existing laws that might otherwise prevent the creation of such a personalized sick leave bank.
