Section 45-49A-81.22 - Implementation, Construction, and Enforcement of Part.

This part shall take effect immediately upon its passage and approval by the Governor or its otherwise becoming a law; provided, that this part shall never be construed nor enforced so as to authorize any municipal authorities to grant any extra compensation, fee, or allowance to any public officer, servant, employee, or agent, after service shall have been rendered, or shall it ever be construed or enforced so as to authorize the retirement of any officer on pay or part pay or make any grant to any retiring officer, but this part shall be construed to the effect that all funds or monies paid out or expended under and by virtue of this part shall be paid for services to be performed or duties to be discharged in the future by persons or officers to whom such payments are made. The governing body of the City of Prichard, however, may assign duties and impose services to be performed by the person or officer for whose benefit this part is intended and may make appropriations and payments to such person or officer in consideration of the performance of such services or the discharge of such duties so imposed upon them.
