	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1008, Richman  County employees' retirement: supplemental
benefits.
   Existing law permits Ventura County, upon adoption of a specified
resolution by the board of retirement, to elect to provide for a
vested supplemental benefit of $108.44 per month to all current and
future retired members and their survivors who are eligible, as
specified.
   This bill would require, in Ventura County, if the board of
retirement adopts or has adopted a resolution to provide a vested
supplemental benefit, as described above, that for employees first
employed on or after January 1, 2006, the supplemental benefit shall
be paid only to retirees who have accrued at least 5 years of service
in the retirement system with the county, except for members on
disability retirement connected to their service, as specified.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 31682.2 is added to the Government Code, to
read:

for those persons who are first employed by an employer of the
system on or after January 1, 2006, the vested supplemental benefit
shall be paid only to a retiree who has accrued a minimum of five
years' service credit in the system as a result of employment with
the employer, except that a member who receives a disability
retirement that is service connected is not subject to the five-year
