HB 27 2019 Regular Session Jones
Existing law provides for a reduction of retirement benefits when a Municipal Employees'
Retirement System (MPERS) retiree is reemployed part time and his monthly earning exceed
the difference between his monthly average final compensation and his monthly retirement
benefit.
New law excludes the monthly earnings of certain part-time elected officials from the
calculation used to determine any reduction in benefits for part-time work.
Existing law provides that the MERS board of trustees includes three elected officials.
Prior law provided that an elected official could continue to serve his full term on the board
of trustees if he ceased to hold the elective office which qualified him for the position.
New law provides that an elected official who no longer holds the elective office which
qualified him for the position may not continue to serve his term as a trustee.
Effective upon signature of governor (June 20, 2019).
