Senate advances House bill to create sick leave bank for Kathleen Rodrigue to third reading

The Senate suspended the rules and ordered House Bill 4521 to a third reading. The clerk identified the measure as "enact establishing a sick leave bank for Kathleen Rodrigue, an employee of the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner." Senator Collins moved to suspend the rules to allow immediate consideration; the motion carried without objection and the bill was ordered to a third reading.

The transcript shows no recorded debate, amendment, or roll‑call tally on the measure. The action advances a personnel‑related, individual‑specific request toward further legislative consideration; the transcript does not specify the size or source of the sick leave bank.

Any creation of a sick leave bank for a named employee will depend on subsequent readings and any implementing language and fiscal documentation.
