Summary — S.2562 (Massachusetts): "An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Carlos Borges"

Overview / Purpose

S.2562 would create a one-off, named sick leave bank for Carlos Borges, an employee of the Massachusetts Department of Correction (DOC). The bill is framed as an emergency law to take effect immediately upon passage so the sick leave bank can be established "forthwith."

Key provisions

  • Authority: Notwithstanding any other law, the DOC is directed to establish a sick leave bank specifically for Carlos Borges.
  • Contributions: Any DOC employee may voluntarily contribute one or more sick, personal, or vacation days to the bank.
  • Use limitation: Days in the sick leave bank may only be used for absences related to the illness or disability that led to the creation of the bank, as determined by the DOC. They cannot be used for unrelated absences.
  • Termination or dissolution: If Borges leaves DOC employment or requests dissolution of the bank, any remaining days must be transferred into the DOC’s extended illness leave bank.
  • Effective date: The act takes effect immediately upon passage (emergency preamble).

Who is affected

  • Primary beneficiary: Carlos Borges (DOC employee named in the bill).
  • Potential donors: All employees of the Massachusetts Department of Correction, who may voluntarily contribute accrued sick, personal, or vacation days.
  • DOC administration: Responsible for creating, managing, and determining eligibility for use of the sick leave bank; responsible for transfer of leftover time if terminated/dissolved.
  • Extended illness leave bank: Receives any remaining days if the named bank is dissolved or Borges terminates employment.

Procedural / timeline notes (from provided materials)

  • Filing / presentation: Document lists a filing date of February 11, 2025 and presentation in the One Hundred and Ninety-Fourth General Court (2025–2026). The petitioners listed in the bill text are state senators Kelly A. Dooner and Justin Thurber.
  • Emergency clause: The bill declares immediate effectiveness upon passage.

Important data inconsistencies / verification recommendation

The supplied packet includes conflicting and likely erroneous metadata: the top-line title (“Enacts the New York agricultural investment task force act”), multiple unrelated committees (Agriculture, Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Public Service), and a sponsors list made up of U.S. Senators and unrelated names. Those items do not match the bill text (a Massachusetts, named sick leave bank) or the petitioners named in the text (Kelly A. Dooner and Justin Thurber).

Recommendation: consult the official Massachusetts Legislature website (or the official session docket) for S.2562 in the 194th General Court to confirm current status, committee actions, and the correct sponsors. Use the bill text above as the authoritative source for substantive content.
