An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Eddie Simpkins, an employee of the Suffolk County

4personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Eddie Simpkins. If Eddie Simpkins
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.
