Massachusetts Senate approves sick-leave banks for two public employees
Summary
The Senate adopted measures establishing sick-leave banks for named employees — a Senate bill for a trial court employee and a House bill for Dana Johnson — and passed them to be enacted.
The Massachusetts Senate approved measures establishing sick-leave banks for named employees and passed the bills to be enacted, to be signed by the president of the Senate and laid before the governor.
An act establishing a sick leave bank for Andrew Saterra, an employee of the trial court of the Commonwealth (Senate No. 2508), was taken up with the adoption of an emergency preamble. A required standing vote on the emergency preamble was held; the clerk reported four members rose in the affirmative and none in the negative and the emergency preamble was adopted.
A house bill establishing a sick leave bank for Dana Johnson (House No. 4032) was received and ordered to a third reading after unanimous consent to suspend the rules. Both the Senate bill (No. 2508) and the House bill (No. 4032) were included among matters the Senate passed to be enacted. The Senate did not record individual roll-call tallies for the final passage; the clerk reported the ayes carried and the bills will be signed and laid before the governor.
No floor debate describing the operational details of the sick-leave banks (donation mechanics, eligibility, or reporting) was recorded in the transcript.
