	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2355, Oropeza.  Public Employees' Retirement System:
administrative costs.
   Existing law authorizes the Board of Administration of the Public
Employees' Retirement System to include in the contribution paid by a
contracting agency an amount to cover administrative costs.
   This bill would require the board, upon request, to provide
information to a contracting agency regarding those costs, as
specified.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 20536 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   20536.  (a) The board may include each year in the contribution
required of the contracting agency a reasonable amount, which may
differ from agency to agency, to cover the costs of administering
this system as it affects the active and retired employees of that
agency.  The board may also assess a contracting agency a reasonable
amount to cover costs incurred because of the agency's failure to
submit reports and forward contributions on a timely basis.  The
payments shall be credited to the current appropriation for support
of the board and available for expenditure by the board.
   (b) Upon request, the board shall provide information to a
contracting agency concerning the amount of administrative costs to
be charged to each contracting agency with respect to those plans
within the system in which the contracting agency participates.
