	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1380, as amended, Committee on Public Employees, Retirement and
Social Security. County employees' retirement.
    The California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013
(PEPRA) requires a public retirement system, as defined, to modify
its pension plan or plans to comply with the act and, among other
provisions, generally prohibits a public employer that offers a
defined benefit plan from offering new employees defined benefit
retirement formulas other than those established by the act.
   Under the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937, a safety member
of a county retirement system who has reached the applicable
compulsory retirement age, if any, has completed 10 years of
continued service and reached 50 years of age, or who has completed
20 years of service, may retire after filing a written application
with the board of retirement, except as specified. The law authorizes
a member of a county retirement system who has reached 70 years of
age, has completed 10 years of services and has reached 55 years of
age, or has completed 30 years of service, to retire after filing a
written application with the board.
   This bill would prohibit the application of the above-described
authorizations to a member who is subject to the PEPRA for that
member's membership in the county retirement system. The bill would
also authorize a member who is subject to the PEPRA and has completed
5 years of service and has reached the minimum retirement age
applicable to that member, or has reached 70 years of age, to retire
upon filing a written application with the board, as specified.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
