Summary

The County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 provides a comprehensive set of rights and benefits for county and district employees who are members of a retirement system subject to that law. That law permits a county to require sheriffs, undersheriffs, and marshals who are safety members to be retired at 60 years of age or 70 years of age. Existing law, applicable in Los Angeles County, provides that a safety member is not subject to those mandatory retirement provisions if a physician employed or approved by the county certifies that the member is capable of performing his or her assigned duties pursuant to standards set forth by the member's employer. This bill would require Los Angeles, after having adopted these provisions, to provide a safety member who is on a disability leave of absence the opportunity to receive the physician certification described above upon return from his or her leave.
