This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Under existing law, counties and districts may provide retirement benefits to their employees pursuant to the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 (CERL) . CERL specifies the minimum ages and years of service that are required in order to become eligible for retirement. That law generally permits the board of supervisors of a county or the governing board of a district, by resolution adopted by majority vote and pursuant to a memorandum of understanding, as specified, to make certain formulas for the calculation of benefits for its members based on their classification. The bill would provide that compensation paid to a retiring member to restore compensation the member would have been entitled to receive pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement fully executed on or before July 1, 2010, that was subsequently deferred or otherwise modified as a result of a concessionary amendment executed prior to September 1, 2010, shall be considered compensation earnable and not be deemed to have been paid for the purpose of enhancing a member's retirement benefit. This bill would authorize the board of supervisors of the County of Sacramento, by resolution, adopted by majority vote, as part of a negotiated memorandum of understanding with a bargaining unit that represents safety members, to require safety employees of that bargaining unit and unrepresented safety employees, first hired after approval of the resolution, to receive a specified pension calculation that applies to safety members and that computes final compensation based upon the average annual compensation earnable during a specified 3-year period. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
