Summary

Existing law establishes the State Peace Officers' and Firefighters' Defined Contribution Plan for state peace officer/firefighter members in State Bargaining Unit 6, the California Correctional Peace Officers Association, and others as specified. Under existing law, the plan applies to state peace officer and firefighter members in State Bargaining Unit 8 who have become subject by a memorandum of understanding. Existing law authorizes the plan to be provided to state peace officers or firefighters who meet stated criteria, if the Department of Human Resources has approved their inclusion for coverage. The moneys in the State Peace Officers' and Firefighters' Defined Contribution Plan Fund are continuously appropriated. Existing law entitles a participant in the plan to a lump-sum distribution of the balance of his or her account, or installment payments if he or she is entitled to $5,000 or more, upon separation from all service for the employer for any reason other than death, disability, or retirement. Existing law requires the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System to administer the Supplemental Contributions Program and requires contributions by eligible employees, as defined, participating in the program to be deposited in the Supplemental Contributions Program Fund, a continuously appropriated fund. This bill would require that contributions to the State Peace Officers' and Firefighters' Defined Contribution Plan cease, prohibit new members from participating in the plan, and would require that the plan be terminated as prescribed. The bill would repeal those provisions extending plan coverage to State Bargaining Unit 8 and certain state peace officers or firefighters. The bill would require all moneys in the State Peace Officers' and Firefighters' Defined Contribution Plan Fund to be distributed, as specified, including requiring that, if not elected otherwise, amounts that become payable from the fund be rolled over under existing federal law to the Supplemental Contributions Program. The bill would provide for rollover contributions to separate rollover contribution accounts in the Supplemental Contributions Program, as specified, and would provide for the distribution of amounts held in the participant's account. The bill would authorize participants to elect investment fund options, as specified, in the Supplemental Contributions Program. The bill would provide that a fiduciary of the program is not liable for losses resulting from investments in fund options selected by participants or provided to participants who fail to select an option. The bill would require that certain rollover contributions be invested in the applicable target retirement date fund investment fund option available until the participant elects another investment fund option. The bill would also make various clarifying and technical changes in the Supplemental Contributions Program. By changing the circumstances under which moneys in the State Peace Officers' and Firefighters' Defined Contribution Fund would be distributed, and by providing for an increase in contributions to the Supplemental Contributions Program, this bill would make an appropriation.
