No credit shall be given or deductions made from payments for overtime for the purpose of retirement benefits.
[7. Turnkeys,] 6. Probationary patrolmen and patrolmen shall receive additional compensation for authorized overtime, court time and court standby time whenever the total accumulated time exceeds forty hours. The accumulated forty hours shall be taken as compensatory time off at the officer's discretion with the approval of his supervisor.

12. Between July 1, 2000, and June 30, 2001, the board of police commissioners may compensate commissioned employees in an amount in excess of the maximum amounts set out in the tables in subsection 2 of this section, provided that the amount actually paid pursuant to this section shall not exceed three percent of the amount set out for the appropriate category in such table.
Section B. Because immediate action is necessary to ensure that police officers in the affected city are compensated, section A of this act is deemed necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, welfare, peace and safety, and is hereby declared to be an emergency act within the meaning of the constitution, and section A of this act shall be in full force and effect on July 1, 2000, or upon its passage and approval, whichever later occurs.
