A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
1-1 relating to allowance of prior credit in a retirement plan for
1-2 certain transferees to the police department.
1-3 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-4 SECTION 1. Chapter 76, Acts of the 50th Legislature, 1947
1-5 (Article 6243g-1, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), is amended to
1-6 read as follows:
1-7 Sec. 16. No prior credit shall be allowed for service in
1-8 another department in the city to any person who transfers from the
1-9 <some> other department <in the city> to the police department
1-10 except for a police officer who was transferred involuntarily from
1-11 the other city department to the police department. For example,
1-12 if one is transferred from some other department of the city to the
1-13 city police department, such person's service will be computed from
1-14 the day he enters the city police department.
1-15 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-16 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-17 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-18 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-19 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-20 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-21 passage, and it is so enacted.
