	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1681, as introduced, Allen. Public employees: benefits.
   Existing law permits the Board of Administration of the Public
Employees' Retirement System to authorize an employer to participate
in the prefunding of health care coverage and other postemployment
benefits for annuitants. Existing law provides certain definitions of
terms for purposes of this authority.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
