 AN ACT to amend the general municipal law, in relation to  limiting  the
   number of hours certain public employees can work
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Section 90 of the general  municipal  law,  as  amended  by
 section  13  of part B of chapter 504 of the laws of 2009, is amended to
 read as follows:
   § 90. Payment of overtime compensation to public officers  or  employ-
 ees.  (A)  The  governing  board  of each municipal corporation or other
 civil division or political subdivision of the state, or in the city  of
 New York, the mayor, by ordinance, local law, resolution, order or rule,
 may  provide  for  the  payment  of  overtime compensation to any or all
 public officers except elective officers and  those  officers  otherwise
 excluded by law and to any or all public employees under their jurisdic-
 tion at the regular basic pay rate of such officers or employees for all
 time  such officers or employees are required to work in excess of their
 regularly established hours of employment or at such other rate as  such
 governing  board,  or in the city of New York, the mayor, may authorize.
 The amounts received as overtime compensation under this  section  shall
 be  regarded  as  salary  or compensation for any of the purposes of any
 pension or retirement system of which the officer or employee  receiving
 the  same is a member, except as set forth in sections five hundred one,
 six hundred one, and twelve hundred three of the retirement  and  social
 security law. Such overtime compensation shall not be regarded as salary
 or compensation for the purpose of determining the right to any increase
 of  salary  or  any  salary increment on account of length of service or
 otherwise. No such overtime compensation shall be construed  to  consti-
 tute a promotion.

  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
