INTRODUCED BY   Senator Walters

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2011

   An act to add Section 21220.2 to the Government Code, relating to
public employees' retirement.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 524, as introduced, Walters. Public employees' retirement:
reinstatement.
   The Public Employees' Retirement Law (PERL) provides a
comprehensive set of rights and benefits based upon age, service
credit, and final compensation to members of the Public Employees'
Retirement System. Any person who has been retired under the system
is generally prohibited from being employed in any capacity unless he
or she is first reinstated from retirement, except as authorized.
PERL authorizes a person who has been reinstated to thereafter be
employed by the state or by a contracting agency in accordance with
the laws governing that service, in the same manner as a person who
has not been so retired.
   This bill would prohibit a state member who retires on or after
January 1, 2012, from serving without reinstatement or being hired as
a contracted employee for the state until the person has been
retired for at least 12 months.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 21220.2 is added to the Government Code, to
read:
   21220.2.  A state member who retires on or after January 1, 2012,
shall not serve without reinstatement or be hired as a contracted
employee for the state until the person has been retired for at least
12 months.
