	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2680, Negrete McLeod.  State Teachers' Retirement System:
headquarters building.
   Existing law authorizes the Teachers' Retirement Board to remodel,
equip, or construct an office building in Sacramento County for a
permanent headquarters facility for the State Teachers' Retirement
System.  Existing law also gives the Board of Administration of the
Public Employees' Retirement System the authority to acquire property
for the use of the State Teachers' Retirement System, other state
retirement systems, and other specified entities.
   This bill would authorize the Teachers' Retirement Board to
remodel, equip, or construct that building, in the greater
metropolitan Sacramento area, as specified.  The bill would also
remove the State Teachers' Retirement System from the systems for
which the Public Employees' Retirement Board has the authority to
acquire property.


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