Senate, March 30, 2023 -- Text of the Senate bill establishing a sick leave bank for Christopher Trigilio, an employee of the trial court of the commonwealth (being the text of Senate, No. 1105, printed as amended)

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes changing the Massachusetts Constitution to require judges to serve five-year terms instead of remaining in office "during good behavior." Under this plan, judges would be eligible for reappointment by the governor with the council's consent after each term ends. The change would directly affect all state judges by limiting their tenure and introducing a regular reappointment process.

Maddy summaryThis bill directs the Massachusetts Trial Court to create a special sick leave bank specifically for employee Christopher Trigilio. Under this provision, any other Trial Court employee can voluntarily donate their own sick, personal, or vacation days to this fund for Trigilio's use. The act also states that if Trigilio leaves his job or asks to close the bank, any leftover donated time will be moved to the court's general paid leave bank. Additionally, the donated days can only be used for absences related to the specific illness or disability that led to the bank's creation.
