                                  AN ACT

     Requiring cities of the first class to allow members of the
        police departments twenty-four consecutive hours of rest each
        week, except in emergency cases.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That every city of the first
     class shall allow and permit every member of such police
     department to have at least twenty-four consecutive hours of
     rest in every calendar week, and shall rotate the members of the
     police department on a regular schedule, except in emergency
     cases for the suppression of riots or tumults or in times of
     war, pestilence, conflagration, or public celebrations, without
     diminution of the salary or compensation fixed by ordinance or
     resolution of such city: Provided, however, That no vacation or
     suspension period of a member of the police department shall be
     increased or reduced by reason of the fact that, during such
     period, such member, if working, would have been entitled to one
     or more rest days under the provisions of this act.
        Section 2.  This act shall become effective on the first day
     of January, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six.
