An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Elizabeth Fontaine, an employee of the Department of Children and Families

Maddy summarySD 2681 establishes a one-time sick leave bank specifically for Elizabeth Fontaine, an employee of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF). The bill creates a dedicated pool of sick leave hours for Fontaine's personal use, allowing her to access accrued leave without impacting her department's overall sick leave balance. This procedural measure directly affects only Elizabeth Fontaine and does not create a new policy for other DCF employees. The legislation is a targeted, individual request rather than a broad statutory change.
