Section 1127. Condition precedent to employment.
   a.   Notwithstanding the provisions of any local law, rule or regulation to the contrary, every person seeking employment with the city of New York or any of its agencies regardless of civil service classification or status shall sign an agreement as a condition precedent to such employment to the effect that if such person is or becomes a nonresident individual as that term is defined in section 11-1706 of the administrative code of the city of New York or any similar provision of such code, during employment by the city, such person will pay to the city an amount by which a city personal income tax on residents computed and determined as if such person were a resident individual, as defined in such section, during such employment, exceeds the amount of any city earnings tax and city personal income tax imposed on such person for the same taxable period.
   b.   Whenever any provision of this charter, the administrative code of the city of New York or any rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to such charter or administrative code employs the term "salary", "compensation", or any other word or words having a similar meaning, such terms shall be deemed and construed to mean the scheduled salary or compensation of any employee of the city of New York, undiminished by any amount payable pursuant to subdivision a of this section.
Section 1128. Interference with investigation.
   a.   No person vent, seek to prevent, interfere with, obstruct, or otherwise hinder any study or investigation being conducted pursuant to the charter. Any violation of this section shall constitute cause for suspension or removal from office or employment.

Section 1129. Members of police department; no other office.
Any police commissioner or any member of the police force who shall accept any additional place of public trust or civil emolument except as a member of a community board, or who shall during his or her term of office be nominated for any office elective by the people, except a member of the police force appointed, nominated or elected to a board of education outside of the city of New York, and shall not, within ten days succeeding same, decline the said nomination, shall be deemed thereby to have resigned his or her commission and to have vacated his or her office, and all votes cast at any election for any person holding the office of police commissioner, or within thirty days after he or she shall have resigned such office, shall be void.
The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any member of the police force who, with the written authorization of the mayor, shall accept any additional place of public trust or civil emolument while on leave of absence without pay from the department.
Section 1130. Members of fire department; elective office.
Any commissioner or any member of the uniformed force of the fire department may accept any additional place of public trust or civil emolument or may be elected to public office.
