Summary

The County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 (CERL) authorizes counties to establish retirement systems pursuant to its provisions for the purpose of providing pension, disability, and death benefits to county and district employees. CERL prescribes the methods for calculating a non-service-connected disability retirement for different membership classifications and for the purpose of calculating reciprocal benefits. In these instances, the sum of allowance may vary depending on whether or not the retirement board finds, in its opinion, the member's disability is due to intemperate use of alcoholic liquor or drugs, among other things. In this regard, CERL conditions the purchase of a disability retirement pension by county or district contributions on a finding by the board that the member's disability is not the result of intemperate use of alcoholic liquor or drugs. This bill would create an optional provision, to be elected by a county board of supervisors by resolution adopted by majority vote, that would remove the retirement board's assessment regarding the intemperate use of alcoholic liquor or drugs as a condition on the purchase of a disability retirement pension by county or district contributions.
