INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Donnelly

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2011

   An act to amend Section 31461 of the Government Code, relating to
county retirement.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 875, as introduced, Donnelly. County retirement.
   The County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 sets forth a
comprehensive system of retirement benefits for county and district
employees. Existing law defines the term "compensation earnable" for
purposes of determining required contributions and benefits.
   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:

  SECTION 1.  Section 31461 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   31461.  "Compensation earnable" by a member means the average
compensation as determined by the board, for the period under
consideration upon the basis of the average number of days ordinarily
worked by persons in the same grade or class of positions during the
period  ,  and at the same rate of pay. The
computation for any absence shall be based on the compensation of the
position held by the member at the beginning of the absence.
Compensation, as defined in Section 31460, that has been deferred
shall be deemed "compensation earnable" when earned, rather than when
paid.
