that if a police private is classed as technician in subclass (b) of salary class 1 in the salary schedule in section 101 of the District of Columbia Police and Firemen's Salary Act of 1958 solely on account of his duties as dog handler, such police private shall not be entitled to the additional compensation authorized by this paragraph. SEC. 104. Section 303(c) of the District of Columbia Police and Firemen's Salary Act of 1958 (D.C. Code, sec. 4-829 (c)) is amended by deleting ", (b), or (c) " and inserting in lieu thereof "or (b)". SEC. 105. The first sentence of section 304 of the District of Columbia Police and Firemen's Salary Act of 1958 (D.C. Code, sec. 4-830) is amended to read as follows: "Any officer or member who is promoted or transferred to a higher salary class or subclass of a higher salary class shall receive basic compensation at the lowest scheduled rate of such higher salary class or subclass which exceeds his existing rate of compensation by not less than one step increase of the next higher step of the salary class or subclass from which he is promoted or transferred." SEC. 106. Paragraph (3) of section 401(a) of the District of Columbia Police and Firemen's Salary Act of 1958 (D.C. Code, sec. 4-832(a)) is amended to read as follows: "(3) I n the case of the officers or members serving in salary classes other than salary class 1, each longevity step increase shall be equal to one step increase of the salary class or subclass of a salary class in which the officer or member is serving." SEC. 107. (a) Each officer and member in active service on the effective date of this title to whom section 103 of this title and the amendment made by section 102 of this title apply, who is receiving basic compensation at one of the scheduled service or longevity steps of a salary class or subclass other than subclass (a) or (b) of salary class 1, and whose latest promotion has been subsequent to January 5, 1963, and prior to the effective date of this title shall (1) be placed in the service or longevity step of his salary class or subclass which provides a salary not less than the amount he would have received as a result of sections 102,103, and 105 of this title had such promotion occurred on or after the effective date of this title, and (2) receive the appropriate scheduled rate of basic compensation for such step in the salary class or subclass in which he is serving. (b) The rate of basic compensation received by any officer or member under the provisions of section 103 of this title and the amendment made by section 102 of this title shall not be reduced by reason of the enactment of this section. (c) Any officer or member who receives additional compensation as a result of the enactment of this section shall be credited with any active service he has rendered in the service or longevity step in which he was serving immediately prior to the effective date of this title for subsequent advancement purposes under the provisions of section 303 or section 401, as the case may be, of the District of Columbia Police and Firemen's Salary Act of 1958 (D.C. Code, sec. 4-829, sec. 4-832). (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this or any other law, individuals retired from active service prior to the effective date of this title and entitled to receive a pension relief allowance or retirement compensation under the provisions of section 12 of the Policemen and Firemen's Retirement and Disability Act shall not be entitled to receive an increase in their pension relief allowance or retirement compensation by reason of the enactment of this section. SEC. 108.
