LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 114, as amended, Yee. Teachers: retirement. The State Teachers' Retirement Law, which is administered by the Teachers' Retirement Board, prescribes a comprehensive system of rights and benefits for its members, including disability benefits, retirement benefits, and death benefits. That law specifies the days or hours of creditable service that equal "full time" for the purpose of calculating benefits under the Defined Benefit Program, with a minimum standard applied, as specified. Under that law, each collective bargaining agreement or employment agreement, which applies to a member subject to the minimum standard for community college based on 525 instructional hours per school year for all instructors employed on a part-time basis, is required to specify the number of hours of creditable service that equal full time and to specifically reference that section. This bill , as of July 1, 2013, would expand that provision to apply to collective bargaining agreements or employment agreements for community college instructors employed in adult education programs who have a minimum of 875 instructional hours per school year. The bill would also require a copy of the collective bargaining agreements or employment agreements for those members to be submitted to the State Teachers' Retirement System in accordance with specified criteria and would require those agreements to specify the number of hours of creditable service that equal "full time" for each class of employee. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
