LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 400, Ortiz. Public Employees’ Retirement System: benefits.
(1) Under the Public Employees’ Retirement Law, retirement allowances for school members are calculated, in part, based on the highest average compensation earnable during a consecutive 3-year period.
This bill would instead base that calculation on the highest average compensation earnable during a consecutive 12-month period.
(2) The Public Employees’ Retirement Law defines “state peace officer/firefighter” in terms of employees employed by specified state departments in specified job classifications and provides higher retirement benefit formulas and higher employer and employee contribution rates for state peace officer/firefighter members than for state miscellaneous members.
This bill would add the Sergeants-at-Arms of each house of the State Legislature, excluding the Chief Sergeant-at-Arms, within the state peace officer/firefighter membership category.
(3) The Public Employees’ Retirement Law establishes retirement formulas, known as the Second Tier and the modified First Tier, that are applicable to specified members of the system.
This bill would provide that state miscellaneous and state industrial members hired or returning to state service, as specified, on or after January 1, 2000, shall be subject to First Tier benefits unless they elect to be subject to Second Tier benefits; authorize members subject to Second Tier benefits to elect to become subject to First Tier benefits and contribution rates, thereby making an appropriation; and provide that members subject to modified First Tier benefits shall become subject to First Tier benefits, as specified. The bill would also establish the means for members subject to Second Tier benefits, who are employed by the state on or after January 1, 2000, to elect to have their former Second Tier service converted to First Tier service.
(4) The Public Employees’ Retirement Law prescribes a 2% at age 60 retirement formula for state miscellaneous, university, state industrial and school members.
This bill would make that formula inapplicable to those members employed by the state on or after January 1, 2000, except as specified, and would instead prescribe a 2% at age 55 retirement formula, as specified. The bill would also provide a 1 to 6%, inclusive, retirement allowance increase for certain retired state and school members, as specified, and make related technical changes.
(5) The Public Employees’ Retirement Law prescribes a 2% at age 50 retirement formula for members of the California Highway Patrol and specified local safety members, a 2.5% at age 55 retirement formula for state peace officer/firefighter members and specified local safety members, and a 2% at age 55 retirement formula for state safety members and specified local safety members, all subject to maximum benefit limitations based on specified percentages of final compensation.
This bill would make those formulas inapplicable to those state members who are employed by the state on or after January 1, 2000, and would instead prescribe a 3% at age 50 retirement formula for members of the California Highway Patrol and a 3% at age 55 for state peace officer/firefighter members and certain local safety members, as specified; provide an enhanced retirement formula for state safety members, as specified; and make related technical changes. The bill would also modify the maximum benefit limitations, as specified.
(6) The Public Employees’ Retirement Law, as amended by Chapter 3 of the Statutes of 1999, provides preretirement death benefits for the surviving spouse or children, or both, as specified, of state members and specified school members not covered by the federal Social Security Act and provides that a surviving spouse becomes eligible for certain of these benefits when he or she attains the age of 62 years and meets other specified criteria.
This bill would decrease the surviving spouse’s eligibility age to 60 years, would modify the method for funding these benefits, and would repeal these benefits on January 1, 2010.
(7) The bill would provide that the operation and application of certain of its provisions would be subject to specified conditions and limitations.
(8) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Sections 20391, 20677, 21337, 21362, 21363, 21369, 21572, 21573, and 21581 of the Government Code proposed by AB 99, AB 232, AB 813, SB 234, SB 339, SB 800, and SB 401, as applicable, to take effect if this bill and those bills, as specified, are enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2000, and this bill is enacted last.

(b) In no event shall the current service pension and the combined current and prior service pensions under this section for all service to all employers exceed an amount that, when added to the service retirement annuity related to that service, equals 75 percent of final compensation.

Where a state or local member retiring on or after January 1, 1995, has service under this section with both state and local agency employers, the higher maximum shall apply and the additional benefit shall be funded by increasing the member’s pension payable with respect to the employer for whom the member performed the service subject to the higher maximum.

 Section 21362.2 is added to the Government Code, to read:

21362.2.
 (a) The combined current and prior service pension for state patrol members and for local safety members with respect to local safety service rendered to a contracting agency that is subject to the provisions of this section is a pension derived from the contributions of the employer sufficient when added to the service retirement annuity that is derived from the accumulated normal contributions of the patrol member at the date of his or her retirement to 3 percent of his or her final compensation at the age of 50 years, multiplied by the number of years of patrol service or local safety service subject to this section with which he or she is credited at retirement.
(b) In no event shall the current service pension and the combined current and prior service pensions under this section for all service to all employers exceed an amount that, when added to the service retirement annuity related to that service, equals 75 percent of final compensation. For state patrol members with respect to service for all state employers under this section, the benefit shall not exceed 90 percent of final compensation. If the pension relates to service to more than one employer and would otherwise exceed that maximum, the pension payable with respect to each employer shall be reduced in the same proportion as the allowance based on service to that employer bears to the total allowance computed as though there were no limit, so that the total of the pensions shall equal the maximum. Where a state patrol member has service under this section with both state and local agency employers, the 90 percent limit shall apply and the additional benefit shall be funded by increasing the member’s pension payable with respect to the state employer.
(c) For patrol members employed by the state on or after January 1, 2000, this section shall supersede Section 21362.
(d) This section shall not apply to state safety or state peace officer/firefighter members.
(e) This section shall not apply to any contracting agency nor its employees unless and until the agency elects to be subject to the provisions of this section by amendment to its contract made in the manner prescribed for approval of contracts or, in the case of contracts made after the date this section becomes operative, by express provision in the contract making the contracting agency subject to this section. The operative date of this section for a local safety member shall be the effective date of the amendment to his or her employer’s contract electing to be subject to this section.
(f) This section shall supersede Section 21362, 21363, 21363.1, 21366, 21368, 21369, or 21370, whichever is then applicable, with respect to local safety members who retire after the date this section becomes applicable to their respective employers.
(g) The Legislature reserves, with respect to any member subject to this section, the right to provide for the adjustment of industrial disability retirement allowances because of earnings of a retired person and modification of the conditions and qualifications required for retirement for disability as it may find appropriate because of the earlier ages of service retirement made possible by the benefits under this section.

(e) (1) This section shall be operative with respect to state peace officer/firefighter members in Corrections Bargaining Unit No. 6, Protective Services and Public Safety Bargaining Unit No. 7, or Firefighters Bargaining Unit No. 8, in accordance with a memorandum of understanding reached between the state and the exclusive bargaining agent in the respective unit pursuant to Chapter 10.3 (commencing with Section 3512) of Division 4 of Title 1.

(5) The operative date of this section with respect to members in each of the bargaining units specified in this section shall be as provided for in the memorandum of understanding.

(g) The Legislature reserves the right to subsequently modify or amend this part in order to completely effectuate the intent and purposes of this section and the right to not provide any new comparable advantages if disadvantages to employees result from any modification or amendment.
(h) This section shall not apply to a contracting agency nor its employees until, first, it is agreed to in a written memorandum of understanding entered into by an employer and representatives of employees and, second, the contracting agency elects to be subject to it by amendment to its contract made in the manner prescribed for approval of contracts or in the case of a new contract, by express provision of the contract.

(f) The percentage of final compensation provided in this section shall be reduced by one-third as applied to that part of the member’s final compensation that does not exceed four hundred dollars ($400) per month for service after the effective date of coverage of a member under the federal system. This subdivision shall not apply to a member who retires after the date upon which coverage under the federal system of persons in his or her employment terminates. It shall not apply to a local safety member employed by a contracting agency electing to be subject to this section after March 7, 1973, unless the agency elects to be subject to this paragraph by amendment to its contract or by appropriate provision of a contract entered into after this provision is effective and as to any member, the reduction in the percentage of final compensation shall apply to all local safety service to the agency, if any of the local safety service has been included in the federal system.

(e) This section shall not apply to beneficiaries with respect to the death of a state member, except as provided in subdivision (i), occurring on or after January 1, 1985, unless provided for in a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to Section 3517.5, or authorized by the Director of Personnel Administration for classifications of state employees that are excluded from, or not subject to, collective bargaining.

(f) This section shall apply, with respect to benefits payable on and after January 1, 1985, to school members and to school safety members, as defined in Section 20444.

(h) The rate of contribution of an employer subject to this section shall be figured using the term insurance valuation method.

If a contracting agency that is subject to this section has a deficit in its 1959 survivor benefit account as of the date the contracting agency becomes subject to this section, its rate of contribution shall be increased until the deficit is paid.

(1) A surviving spouse who was either continuously married to the member for at least one year prior to death, or was married to the member prior to the occurrence of the injury or onset of the illness that resulted in death, and has the care of unmarried children, including stepchildren, of the deceased member who are under 22 years of age or are so incapacitated, shall be paid one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per month if there is one child or one thousand eight hundred dollars ($1,800) per month if there are two or more children. If there also are children who are not in the care of the surviving spouse, the portion of the allowance payable under this paragraph, assuming that these children were in the care of the surviving spouse, that is in excess of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) per month, shall be divided equally among all those children and payments made to the spouse and other children, as the case may be.
(2) If there is no surviving spouse, or if the surviving spouse dies, and if there are unmarried children, including stepchildren, of the deceased member who are under 22 years of age or are so incapacitated, or if there are children not in the care of the spouse, the children shall be paid an allowance as follows:
(A) If there is only one child, the child shall be paid seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) per month.
(B) If there are two children, the children shall be paid one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per month divided equally between them.
(C) If there are three or more children, the children shall be paid one thousand eight hundred dollars ($1,800) per month divided equally among them.
(3) A surviving spouse who has attained or attains the age of 60 years, and who was either continuously married to the member for at least one year prior to death, or was married to the member prior to the occurrence of the injury or onset of the illness that resulted in death, shall be paid seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) per month. No allowance shall be paid under this paragraph while the surviving spouse is receiving an allowance under paragraph (1) or while an allowance is being paid under subparagraph (C) of paragraph (2). The allowance paid under this paragraph shall be three hundred dollars ($300) per month while an allowance is being paid under subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2).
(4) If there is no surviving spouse or surviving child who qualifies for the 1959 survivor allowance, or if the surviving spouse dies and there is no surviving child, or if the surviving spouse dies and the children die or marry or, if not incapacitated, reach 22 years of age, each of the member’s dependent parents who has attained or attains the age of 60 years, and who received at least one-half of his or her support from the member at the time of the member’s death, shall be paid seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) per month.
(c) “Stepchildren,” for purposes of this section, shall include only stepchildren of the member living with the member in a regular parent-child relationship at the time of the death of the member.
(d) This section shall only apply to state and school members effective on or after January 1, 2000.

(e) The rate of contribution of an employer subject to this section shall be calculated using a method determined by the board. Surplus assets shall be applied to reduce the rate of contribution. If a deficit exists, the rate of contribution shall be increased until the deficit is paid.
(f) On and after January 1, 2000, and until January 1, 2010, all state employees and school members shall be covered by this section.
(g) This section shall be repealed on January 1, 2010, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes effective on or before January 1, 2010, deletes or extends that date.
