Filed with Secretary of State September 18, 2022. ]~~ LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 1722, Cooper. Public employees retirement: safety members: industrial disability retirement. The Public Employees Retirement Law, until January 1, 2023, provides a state safety member of the Public Employees Retirement System who retires for industrial disability a retirement benefit equal to the greatest amount resulting from 3 possible calculations. In this regard, the benefit amount is based on an actuarially reduced service retirement, a service retirement allowance, if the member is qualified, or 50% of the members final compensation, plus an annuity purchased with their accumulated contributions, if any. Existing law establishes the Public Employees Retirement Fund, which is a trust fund that is appropriated continuously for various purposes, including the payment of benefits.This bill would delete the termination of these provisions on January 1, 2023, thereby making them operative in perpetuity. By providing that a continuously appropriated fund may be spent for a new purpose, this bill would make an appropriation. The bill also would make nonsubstantive style changes.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: YES Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
