Public employees retirement benefits.The Public Employees Retirement Law (PERL) establishes the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to provide a defined benefit to members of the system based on final compensation, credited service, and age at retirement, subject to certain variations. Existing law creates the Public Employees Retirement Fund, which is continuously appropriated for purposes of PERS, including depositing employer and employee contributions. Under the California Constitution, assets of a public pension or retirement system are trust funds.The California Public Employees Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) establishes a variety of requirements and restrictions on public employers offering defined benefit pension plans. In this regard, PEPRA restricts the amount of compensation that may be applied for purposes of calculating a defined pension benefit for a new member, as defined, by restricting it to specified percentages of the contribution and benefit base under a specified federal law with respect to old age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits.This bill, on and after January 1, 2026, would require a retirement system to adjust pensionable compensation limits to be consistent with a defined benefit limitation established and annually adjusted under federal law with respect to tax exempt qualified trusts. ByPEPRA requires each retirement system that offers a defined benefit plan for safety members of the system to use one of 3 formulas for safety members, 2% at age 57, 2.5% at age 57, or 2.7% at age 57.This bill would establish new retirement formulas, for employees first hired on or after January 1, 2026, as 2.5% at age 55, 2.7% at age 55, or 3% at age 55. For new members hired on or after January 1, 2013, who are safety members, the bill would require employers to adjust the formulas for service performed on or after January 1, 2026, to offer one of the 3 formulas for safety members that is closest to the formula the employer provided pursuant to existing law. The bill would authorize a public employer and a recognized employee organization to negotiate a prospective increase to the retirement benefit formulas for members and new members, consistent with the formulas permitted under the act.This bill would authorize an employer and its employees to agree in a memorandum of understanding to be subject to a higher safety plan or a lower safety plan, subject to certain requirements, including that the memorandum of understanding is collectively bargained in accordance with applicable laws.PEPRA requires all public employees to pay at least 50 percent of normal costs and prohibits public employers from paying any of the required employee contribution.This bill would authorize an employer and employee, through the collective bargaining process, to agree to terms in a memorandum of understanding where the employer pays a portion of employee contribution. By increasing the contribution to continuously appropriated funds, this bill would make an appropriation. 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. The Legislature finds and declares the following:(a) California is experiencing significant challenges in the recruitment and retention of safety personnel, including firefighters, police officers, and other first responders. Competitive retirement benefits are critical to ensuring an adequate and well-trained public safety workforce.(b) Firefighters face heightened risks of occupational diseases, including elevated cancer rates. Studies have shown that firefighters have a significantly higher risk of developing multiple types of cancer due to prolonged exposure to carcinogens and hazardous materials in the line of duty. In 2022, the International Agency for Research on Cancer identified the occupation of firefighting as a Class 1 carcinogen.(c) The physical demands of safety positions are extraordinary, requiring peak physical performance, endurance, and exposure to high-stress, life-threatening situations on a daily basis. These factors contribute to increased rates of disability, injury, and early retirement compared to other professions.(d) Adjusting the retirement age and pension formulas for safety employees is necessary to maintain a sustainable and effective workforce while addressing the unique health and occupational challenges faced by these personnel.(e) California has a strong history of protecting and promoting collective bargaining rights and providing opportunities for employees and employers to bargain over certain retirement benefits that further enhances opportunities for public employers and employees to partner on stronger retirement security.(f) Public employees commit their life to service of their communities. Allowing employees to bargain over the payment of the normal cost between employees and employers will facilitate further discussion at the bargaining table, improving conditions for all employees.(g) The compensation cap established under the public employee pension reform act, places limits that are significantly less than the current federal limit. To reflect current wage rates across both safety and miscellaneous employees, it is necessary to reconsider the appropriate compensation cap level, consistent with federal limits.SECTION 1.SEC. 2. Section 7522.10 of the Government Code is amended to read:7522.10. (a) On and after January 1, 2013, each public retirement system shall modify its plan or plans to comply with the requirements of this section for each public employer that participates in the system.(b) Whenever pensionable compensation, as defined in Section 7522.34, is used in the calculation of a benefit, the pensionable compensation shall be subject to the limitations set forth in subdivision (c).(c) (1) The pensionable compensation used to calculate the defined benefit paid to a new member who retires from the system shall not exceed the following applicable percentage of the contribution and benefit base specified in Section 430(b) of Title 42 of the United States Code on January 1, 2013:(A) One hundred percent for a member whose service is included in the federal system.(B) One hundred twenty percent for a member whose service is not included in the federal system.(2) On and after January 1, 2026, a retirement system subject to this article shall adjust pensionable compensation limits established by this subdivision to be consistent with the defined benefit rate established by Section 415(b)(1)(A) of Title 26 of the United States Code, as adjusted annually.(d) (1) The retirement system shall adjust the pensionable compensation described in subdivision (c) based on the annual changes to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: U.S. City Average, calculated by dividing the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: U.S. City Average, for the month of September in the calendar year preceding the adjustment by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: U.S. City Average, for the month of September of the previous year rounded to the nearest thousandth. The adjustment shall be effective annually on January 1, beginning in 2014.(2) The Legislature reserves the right to modify the requirements of this subdivision with regard to all public employees subject to this section, except that the Legislature may not modify these provisions in a manner that would result in a decrease in benefits accrued prior to the effective date of the modification.(e) A public employer shall not offer a defined benefit or any combination of defined benefits, including a defined benefit offered by a private provider, on compensation in excess of the limitation in subdivision (c).(f) (1) Subject to the limitation in subdivision (c) of Section 7522.42, a public employer may provide a contribution to a defined contribution plan for compensation in excess of the limitation in subdivision (c) provided the plan and the contribution meet the requirements and limits of federal law.(2) A public employee who receives an employer contribution to a defined contribution plan shall not have a vested right to continue receiving the employer contribution.(g) Any employer contributions to any employee defined contribution plan above the pensionable compensation limits in subdivision (c) shall not exceed the employers contribution rate, as a percentage of pay, required to fund the defined benefit plan for income subject to the limitation in subdivision (c) of Section 7522.42.(h) The retirement system shall limit the pensionable compensation used to calculate the contributions required of an employer or a new member to the amount of compensation that would be used for calculating a defined benefit as set forth in subdivision (c) or (d).SEC. 3. Section 7522.19 is added to the Government Code, to read:7522.19. (a) Notwithstanding any other law, a public employer and a recognized employee organization may negotiate a prospective increase to the retirement benefit formulas for members and new members, consistent with the formulas permitted under this article.(b) Benefit formula increases adopted pursuant to this section shall be established in accordance with Section 7522.44 of this article.(c) For safety members, prospective benefit enhancement may be considered using the formulas included in Section 7522.26.SEC. 4. Section 7522.25 of the Government Code is amended to read:7522.25. (a) Each retirement system that offers a defined benefit plan for safety members of the system shall use one or more of the defined benefit formulas prescribed by this section. A member may retire for service under any of the formulas in this section after five years of service and upon reaching 50 years of age.(b) The Basic Safety Plan shall provide a pension at retirement for service equal to the percentage of the members final compensation set forth opposite the members age at retirement, taken to the preceding quarter year, in the following table, multiplied by the number of years of service in the system as a safety member.Age at RetirementFraction50 ........................ 1.426501/4 ........................ 1.447501/2 ........................ 1.467503/4 ........................ 1.48851 ........................ 1.508511/4 ........................ 1.529511/2 ........................ 1.549513/4 ........................ 1.57052 ........................ 1.590521/4 ........................ 1.611521/2 ........................ 1.631523/4 ........................ 1.65253 ........................ 1.672531/4 ........................ 1.693531/2 ........................ 1.713533/4 ........................ 1.73454 ........................ 1.754541/4 ........................ 1.775541/2 ........................ 1.795543/4 ........................ 1.81655 ........................ 1.836551/4 ........................ 1.857551/2 ........................ 1.877553/4 ........................ 1.89856 ........................ 1.918561/4 ........................ 1.939561/2 ........................ 1.959563/4 ........................ 1.98057 and over ........................ 2.000(c) The Safety Option Plan One shall provide a pension at retirement for service equal to the percentage of the members final compensation set forth opposite the members age at retirement, taken to the preceding quarter year, in the following table, multiplied by the number of years of service in the system as a safety member.Age at RetirementFraction50 ........................ 2.000501/4 ........................ 2.018501/2 ........................ 2.036503/4 ........................ 2.05451 ........................ 2.071511/4 ........................ 2.089511/2 ........................ 2.107513/4 ........................ 2.12552 ........................ 2.143521/4 ........................ 2.161521/2 ........................ 2.179523/4 ........................ 2.19653 ........................ 2.214531/4 ........................ 2.232531/2 ........................ 2.250533/4 ........................ 2.26854 ........................ 2.286541/4 ........................ 2.304541/2 ........................ 2.321543/4 ........................ 2.33955 ........................ 2.357551/4 ........................ 2.375551/2 ........................ 2.393553/4 ........................ 2.41156 ........................ 2.429561/4 ........................ 2.446561/2 ........................ 2.464563/4 ........................ 2.48257 and over ........................ 2.500(d) The Safety Option Plan Two shall provide a pension at retirement for service equal to the percentage of the members final compensation set forth opposite the members age at retirement, taken to the preceding quarter year, in the following table, multiplied by the number of years of service in the system as a safety member.Age at RetirementFraction50 ........................ 2.000501/4 ........................ 2.025501/2 ........................ 2.050503/4 ........................ 2.07551 ........................ 2.100511/4 ........................ 2.125511/2 ........................ 2.150513/4 ........................ 2.17552 ........................ 2.200521/4 ........................ 2.225521/2 ........................ 2.250523/4 ........................ 2.27553 ........................ 2.300531/4 ........................ 2.325531/2 ........................ 2.350533/4 ........................ 2.37554 ........................ 2.400541/4 ........................ 2.425541/2 ........................ 2.450543/4 ........................ 2.47555 ........................ 2.500551/4 ........................ 2.525551/2 ........................ 2.550553/4 ........................ 2.57556 ........................ 2.600561/4 ........................ 2.625561/2 ........................ 2.650563/4 ........................ 2.67557 and over ........................ 2.700(e) On and after January 1, 2013, an employer shall offer one or more of the safety formulas prescribed by this section to new members who are safety employees.

This contribution shall not be paid by the employer on the employees behalf.(d) Notwithstanding subdivision (c), once established, the employee contribution rate described in subdivision (c) shall not be adjusted on account of a change to the normal cost rate unless the normal cost rate increases or decreases by more than 1 percent of payroll above or below the normal cost rate in effect at the time the employee contribution rate is first established or, if later, the normal cost rate in effect at the time of the last adjustment to the employee contribution rate under this section.(e) Notwithstanding subdivision (c), employee contributions may be more than one-half of the normal cost rate if the increase has been agreed to through the collective bargaining process, subject to the following conditions:(1) The employer shall not contribute at a greater rate to the plan for nonrepresented, managerial, or supervisory employees than the employer contributes for other public employees, including represented employees, of the same employer who are in related retirement membership classifications.(2) The employer shall not increase an employee contribution rate in the absence of a memorandum of understanding that has been collectively bargained in accordance with applicable laws.(3) The employer shall not use impasse procedures to increase an employee contribution rate above the rate required by this section.(f) If the terms of a contract, including a memorandum of understanding, between a public employer and its public employees, that is in effect on January 1, 2013, would be impaired by any provision of this section, that provision shall not apply to the public employer and public employees subject to that contract until the expiration of that contract. A renewal, amendment, or any other extension of that contract shall be subject to the requirements of this section.SEC. 7. It is the intent of the Legislature that this act shall not be construed to affect any retirement benefits or pension rights accrued before its effective date. |

Car washing and polishing: reporting. Public employees retirement benefits.The Public Employees Retirement Law (PERL) establishes the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to provide a defined benefit to members of the system based on final compensation, credited service, and age at retirement, subject to certain variations. Existing law creates the Public Employees Retirement Fund, which is continuously appropriated for purposes of PERS, including depositing employer and employee contributions. Under the California Constitution, assets of a public pension or retirement system are trust funds.The California Public Employees Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) establishes a variety of requirements and restrictions on public employers offering defined benefit pension plans. In this regard, PEPRA restricts the amount of compensation that may be applied for purposes of calculating a defined pension benefit for a new member, as defined, by restricting it to specified percentages of the contribution and benefit base under a specified federal law with respect to old age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits.This bill, on and after January 1, 2026, would require a retirement system to adjust pensionable compensation limits to be consistent with a defined benefit limitation established and annually adjusted under federal law with respect to tax exempt qualified trusts. By increasing the contribution to continuously appropriated funds, this bill would make an appropriation. Existing law authorizes the Labor Commissioner to adopt regulations necessary to carry out specified provisions relating to car washing and polishing, and requires the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement to enforce those provisions.Existing law required the commissioner to, on or before December 31, 2008, study and report to the Legislature on the status of labor law violations and enforcement in the car washing and polishing industry.This bill would repeal that provision and would, instead, require the commissioner to annually, on or before December 31, complete a study and submit a report, as specified, to the Legislature on the status of labor law violations and enforcement in the car washing and polishing industry and the total number of registered car washing and polishing businesses in the state.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NOYES Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.

The Legislature finds and declares the following:(a) California is experiencing significant challenges in the recruitment and retention of safety personnel, including firefighters, police officers, and other first responders. Competitive retirement benefits are critical to ensuring an adequate and well-trained public safety workforce.(b) Firefighters face heightened risks of occupational diseases, including elevated cancer rates. Studies have shown that firefighters have a significantly higher risk of developing multiple types of cancer due to prolonged exposure to carcinogens and hazardous materials in the line of duty. In 2022, the International Agency for Research on Cancer identified the occupation of firefighting as a Class 1 carcinogen.(c) The physical demands of safety positions are extraordinary, requiring peak physical performance, endurance, and exposure to high-stress, life-threatening situations on a daily basis. These factors contribute to increased rates of disability, injury, and early retirement compared to other professions.(d) Adjusting the retirement age and pension formulas for safety employees is necessary to maintain a sustainable and effective workforce while addressing the unique health and occupational challenges faced by these personnel.(e) California has a strong history of protecting and promoting collective bargaining rights and providing opportunities for employees and employers to bargain over certain retirement benefits that further enhances opportunities for public employers and employees to partner on stronger retirement security.(f) Public employees commit their life to service of their communities.
