BILL NUMBER: AB 1649INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Smyth FEBRUARY 13, 2012 An act to amend Section 20350 of the Government Code, relating to public employees' retirement. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1649, as introduced, Smyth. Public employees' retirement: reciprocity. Existing law requires the average monthly salary during any period of service as a member of a county retirement system to be considered compensation earnable by a member of the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) for purposes of computing final compensation for the member under specified circumstances in which the member retires concurrently under both systems. Under existing law, if a member on deferred retirement from PERS is eligible to retire for service from a reciprocal retirement system and retires prior to the time the member becomes entitled to retire under PERS, his or her retirement shall be deemed a concurrent retirement for purposes of computing final compensation. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 20350 of the Government Code is amended to read: 20350.
