H 4161: An Act relative to a sick leave bank for Mark Kratman, an employee of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation

H 4161 creates a dedicated sick leave bank for Mark Kratman, a Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT) employee, allowing other DOT workers to voluntarily contribute unused sick, personal, or vacation days to support his medical needs. The bill specifies that contributions must be used solely for Kratman's illness or disability as determined by the DOT, and any unused days transfer to the DOT's general paid leave bank if he leaves or dissolves the bank. This is a targeted, individual exception to standard leave policies, not a broad legislative change.
