An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Nicole Halal, an employee of the Massachusetts
Department of Transportation.
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 Massachusetts Department of
Transportation, 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 Massachusetts
2Department of Transportation shall establish a sick leave bank for Nicole Halal, an employee of
3the department. Any employee of the department may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick,
4personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Nicole Halal. If Nicole Halal
5terminates employment with the department or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, any
6remaining time in the sick leave bank shall be transferred to the extended illness leave bank. Sick
7leave bank days shall not be used for absences unrelated to the illness or disability that
8necessitated the establishment of the sick leave bank as determined by the department.
