CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2015–2016 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill
No. 1086

Introduced by Senator Morrell

February 17, 2016

An act to amend Section 20283 of the Government Code, relating to retirement.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 1086, as introduced, Morrell. Public employees: retirement.
The Public Employees’ Retirement Law creates the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS), which provides a defined benefit to its members based on age at retirement, service credit, and final compensation. Existing law requires an employer that fails to enroll an employee into membership in PERS at the time the employee becomes eligible, as specified, to pay arrears costs for member contributions and administrative costs of $500 as reimbursement to the system and prohibite the employer from passing those costs on to the employee.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 20283 of the Government Code is amended to read:

20283.
 (a) Any An employer that fails to enroll an employee into membership when he or she becomes eligible, or within 90 days thereof, when the employer knows or can reasonably be expected to have known of that eligibility shall be required to pay all arrears costs for member contributions and administrative costs of five hundred dollars ($500) per member as a reimbursement to this system’s current year budget.
(b) An employer shall not pass on to an employee any costs assessed pursuant to subdivision (a).
