             TITLE 40--PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PROPERTY, AND WORKS
 
                 CHAPTER 2--CAPITOL BUILDING AND GROUNDS
 
Sec. 206c. Emergency duty overtime pay for Capitol Police from 
        funds disbursed by Secretary of the Senate; compensatory time 
        off in place of additional pay; election, accrual and transfer 
        of time off; rules and regulations
        
    Each officer or member of the Capitol Police force whose 
compensation is disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate, who performs 
duty in addition to the number of hours of his regularly scheduled tour 
of duty for any day on or after July 1, 1974, is entitled to be paid 
compensation (when ordered to perform such duty by proper authority) or 
receive compensatory time off for each such additional hour of duty, 
except that an officer shall be entitled to such compensation only upon 
a determination made by the Capitol Police Board with respect to any 
additional hours. Compensation of an officer or member for each 
additional hour of duty shall be paid at a rate equal to his hourly rate 
of compensation in the case of an officer, and at a rate equal to one 
and one-half times his hourly rate of compensation for a member of such 
force. The hourly rate of compensation of such officer or member shall 
be determined by dividing his annual rate of compensation by 2,080. Any 
officer or member entitled to be paid compensation for such additional 
hours shall make a written election, which is irrevocable, whether he 
desires to be paid that compensation or to receive compensatory time off 
instead for each such hour. Compensation due officers and members under 
this paragraph shall be paid by the Secretary, upon certification by the 
Chief of the Capitol Police at the end of each calendar quarter and 
approval of the Capitol Police Board, from funds available in the Senate 
appropriation, ``Salaries, Officers and Employees'' for the fiscal year 
in which the additional hours of duty are performed without regard to 
the limitations specified therein. Any compensatory time off accrued and 
not used by an officer or member at the time he is separated from 
service on the Capitol Police force may not be transferred to any other 
department, agency, or establishment of the United States Government or 
the government of the District of Columbia, and no lump-sum amount shall 
be paid for such accrued time. The Capitol Police Board is authorized to 
prescribe regulations to carry out this section.
