                        FEBRUARY 11, 2010

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1821, as introduced, Ma. Public Employees' Retirement System:
preretirement death benefits.
   The Public Employees' Retirement Law provides preretirement death
benefits for the surviving spouse or children, or both, as specified,
of state members and specified school members not covered by the
federal Social Security Act. That law prescribes various allowances
for preretirement death benefits, but specifies that a person is
prohibited from receiving more than one allowance, as specified.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

read:
   21570.  No person shall receive more than one allowance under this
article and that allowance shall be the largest  of the
 monthly  allowances   allowance 
to which he or she would otherwise be entitled.
