     3     The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

     5     Section 1.  Any public officer within the meaning of such
     6  term as used in Article III, section 27, of the Constitution  of
     7  the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who resigns from office shall
     8  be ineligible for reappointment to that office during the
     9  remainder of the term for which he was initially appointed if     <--
    10  such reappointment would increase his salary or emoluments.
    11  However, nothing contained in this act shall prevent such an
    12  officer from being reappointed to the same office from which he
    13  resigned if such reappointment does not result in a higher
    14  salary obtaining than such person received at the date of his
    15  resignation.
    16     Section 2.  This act shall take effect immediately.
