Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 2273 amends the Local Government Code to establish that a police officer in a municipality with a population between 1 million and 1.5 million that has not adopted provisions of the Fire and Police Employee Relations Act may not be required to work more than 40 hours during a calendar week except in the event of an emergency. The bill specifies the hours to be counted in determining whether a police officer is considered to have been required to work overtime in a municipality where the prohibitions apply.
