SUPPLEMENTING SECOND CLASS CITIES PENSION ACT
                  Act of May 23, 1961, P.L. 217, No. 118              Cl. 11
                               A SUPPLEMENT

     To the act of May 28, 1915 (P.L.596), entitled "An act requiring
        cities of the second class to establish a pension fund for
        employes of said cities, and regulating the administration
        and the payment of such pensions," providing a period during
        which certain persons may join the pension fund created under
        the act.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  Every city or authority employe otherwise
     eligible to join the pension fund created under the act to which
     this is a supplement but who is now ineligible to join because
     of not having done so within the times provided by such act
     shall have the option of joining such pension fund within six
     months after the effective date of this act. Any city or
     authority employe who joins such pension plan shall receive full
     credit toward his pension under the act for each year of service
     as an employe of the city or authority upon his producing proof,
     satisfactory to the pension board, of the number of years of
     such service and upon his making back payments at the same rate
     as if he had been a city employe and a member of the pension
     fund during such period in a lump sum or by installments as may
     be determined by the board. If the employe is retired before the
     back payments have been completed, the annuity shall be reduced
     by an amount equivalent to the unpaid back payments or deduction
     increases not anticipated.
        Section 2.  This act shall take effect immediately.
