If enacted, the act declares itself an emergency law intended to take effect immediately.
Any remaining time in the bank would be transferred to the extended illness leave bank. This applies to time remaining in Gilman's sick leave bank. The transfer would occur if Gilman leaves the Department of Correction or asks to dissolve the bank.
