 Introduced by Sen. RAMOS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 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:

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

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