	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1947, Maldonado.  County Employees Retirement Law of 1937:
safety membership.
   Existing provisions of the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937
specify that welfare fraud investigators and administrators in Santa

   This bill would authorize the county board of supervisors of that
county to make those investigators and administrators eligible, as
specified.
