Senate adopts emergency preamble and approves sick‑leave bank for corrections employee Sally Derosher, 18–0

The Massachusetts Senate adopted the emergency preamble and gave final passage to legislation establishing a sick‑leave bank for a Department of Correction employee, Sally Derosher, during the same session.

A senator read the title on the floor: "An act establishing a sick leave bank for Sally Derosher, an employee of the Department of Correction." The Senate then conducted a standing vote for adoption of the emergency preamble; the clerk announced that 18 members voted in the affirmative and no members voted in the negative, and the emergency preamble was adopted.

No roll‑call vote with individual names was recorded in the transcript; the chamber recorded 18 affirmative votes. The matter carried and was reported as adopted with the emergency preamble in place, which typically allows the act to take effect immediately under the Senate’s rules.

The chamber took no further recorded amendments on the measure during this session. The Senate later adopted an adjournment motion and stood adjourned to meet the following day.
