Bill > H44

This bill establishes a sick leave bank for Maryellen Dean, an employee of the Department of Developmental Services, which is a state agency responsible for services to individuals with developmental disabilities. This means that other employees within the same department can voluntarily donate their unused sick, personal, or vacation days to this special bank for Maryellen Dean's use. The bill specifies that any time left in the bank will be transferred to a general extended illness leave bank if Maryellen Dean leaves her job or if the sick leave bank is dissolved. Importantly, the days in this bank can only be used for absences related to the specific illness or disability that led to the creation of this special sick leave bank, as determined by the department. The bill is declared an emergency law, meaning it is intended to take effect immediately to serve the public convenience.
