Summary of H 1590 - Act Establishing a Sick Leave Bank for Eric J. Iwaniec

Overview

This bill establishes a sick leave bank for Eric J. Iwaniec, an employee of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A sick leave bank allows employees to voluntarily donate accrued sick time to a pool that can then be used by a specific employee who has exhausted their own sick, personal, and vacation time due to a serious medical condition.

Key Provisions

  • Authorizes the trial court of the Commonwealth to establish a sick leave bank for Eric J. Iwaniec
  • Allows any employee of the trial court to voluntarily donate 1 or more sick, personal, or vacation days to the sick leave bank
  • Permits Eric J. Iwaniec to withdraw days from the sick leave bank for use during his illness or medical condition, after exhausting his own available leave time
  • Stipulates that sick leave bank days shall not be used for any purpose other than the medical condition of Eric J. Iwaniec

Impact

  • This bill directly benefits Eric J. Iwaniec, an employee of the trial court, by providing him access to additional paid leave time from a sick leave bank funded by voluntary donations from his colleagues.
  • It may encourage other trial court employees to donate sick, personal, or vacation time to support a colleague facing a serious medical issue.
  • The bill has no direct budgetary impact, as it does not appropriate any public funds, but rather facilitates the voluntary donation of accrued leave time.

Timeline

  • The bill was introduced in the Massachusetts House of Representatives on February 27, 2025.
  • It was signed into law by the Governor on April 15, 2025, becoming Chapter 67 of the Acts of 2025.
  • The sick leave bank established by this law will remain in effect until Eric J. Iwaniec's medical condition is resolved and he no longer requires access to the donated leave time.
