Statute overview

About this statute

This section defines key terms used in the CalSavers retirement savings title. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Board and sets rules for how the board, program administrator, and staff must operate. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Trust, assigns the board to administer it, requires the board to split trust money into a program fund and an administrative fund, and gives the Treasurer and the board investment-related powers. It also caps administrative fund spending at 1% of the total program fund after six years from implementation and exempts certain securities from specified Corporations Code sections. The CalSavers Retirement Savings Program must include one or more payroll deduction IRA arrangements, as determined by the board. The board has broad authority over the trust, including contracts, investments, staff, insurance, cooperation, and rulemaking.

Equal sharing of normal costs between the state employer and public employees shall be the standard. It shall be the standard that employees pay at least 50 percent of normal costs and that employers not pay any of the required employee contribution. Equal sharing of normal costs is currently the standard for most state employees. (a) Notwithstanding any other section of this code, or other provision of law in conflict with this section, except as provided in Section 7522.30, normal contribution rates for defined benefit plans for state employees of public employers as defined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (i) of Section 7522.04, excluding the California State University, which shall be subject to subdivision (b), shall be determined as follows: (1) Normal cost contribution rates shall increase as follows: (A) The contribution rate for State Peace Officer/Firefighter members in State Bargaining Unit 6 and for State Safety members in State Bargaining Units 1, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 20, and 21 will increase by 1.0 percentage point on July 1, 2013, and will increase by an additional 1.0 percentage point on July 1, 2014. (B) The contribution rate for State Peace Officer/Firefighter members in State Bargaining Units 7 and 8 will increase by 1.5 percentage points on July 1, 2013, and will increase by an additional 1.5 percentage points on July 1, 2014. (C) The contribution rate for state industrial members in State Bargaining Units 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, and 20 will increase by 1.0 percentage point on July 1, 2013. (D) The contribution rate for state miscellaneous and industrial members that have elected the Second Tier benefit formula will increase by 1.5 percentage points annually starting July 1, 2013. The final annual increase in the contribution rate shall be adjusted as appropriate. (E) The contribution rate for State Safety members in State Bargaining Unit 2 and state miscellaneous members in State Bargaining Unit 5 will increase by 1.0 percentage point on July 1, 2013. (F) The contribution rate for Patrol members in State Bargaining Unit 5 will increase by 1.5 percentage points on July 1, 2013. (2) Consistent with paragraph (1), the normal rate of contribution shall be adjusted accordingly for related state employees who are exempted from the definition of “state employee,” who are excluded from collective bargaining, or who are officers or employees of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of state government who are not members of the civil service. (b) On and after January 1, 2019, the California State University may require that members pay at least 50 percent of the normal cost of benefits, provided that their contribution shall be no more than 8 percent of pay for miscellaneous members subject to Section 21354.1, no more than 11 percent of pay for safety members, and no more than 13 percent of pay for peace officer/firefighter members. (A) Before implementing any change pursuant to this paragraph, for any represented employees, the employer shall complete the good faith bargaining process as required by Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 3560) of Division 4 of Title 1, including any impasse procedures requiring mediation and factfinding. (B) Nothing in this section shall preclude employees of the California State University from agreeing to contribute more than the costs described in this subdivision for any benefit. (C) The Legislature authorizes to the California State University to increase member contribution rates pursuant to this paragraph, while reserving the right to adjust contribution rates under Section 20689 of the Government Code. (c) Calculation of employee contribution rate increases pursuant to this section shall be based upon compensation calculations established pursuant to Sections 20671 to 20694, inclusive. (d) In addition to the actuarially required contribution, savings realized by the state employer, excluding savings realized by the California State University, as a result of the employee contribution rate increases required or authorized by this section shall be allocated to any unfunded liability, subject to appropriation in the annual Budget Act. It is the intent of the Legislature that any savings realized from a change in contribution rates at the California State University pursuant to this section be retained by the university.

(a) Where a contracting agency employer or a school employer has elected to pay all or a portion of the normal contributions of members of a group or class of employment pursuant to Section 20691, the employer may, pursuant to a labor policy or agreement, stop paying those contributions during the final compensation period applicable to the members and, instead, increase the payrate of the members by an amount equal to the normal contributions paid by the employer on behalf of the employees in the pay period immediately prior to the final compensation period or increase the payrate of the members by an amount established by a labor policy or agreement in existence and in effect on June 30, 1993. That amount shall not exceed the amount of the normal member contributions that are required to be paid by the members. (b) This section shall not apply to any contracting agency or to any school employer unless and until the contracting agency or the school employer elects to be subject to this section by amendment to its contract made in the manner prescribed for approval of contracts, except an election among the employees is not required. In the case of contracts made after July 1, 1994, the section shall not apply unless incorporated by express provision in the contract. However, no school employer may act pursuant to this section unless and until the board approves a request for the amendment of the contract of a school employer to authorize termination of the payment. A school employer shall not submit a request for a contract amendment unless there is on file a request to terminate that payment from the county superintendent of schools office and each school district, community college district, and other school entity within the jurisdiction of that school employer. (c) Before adopting this provision, the governing body of a contracting agency or school employer shall, with timely public notice, place the consideration of this section on the agendas of two consecutive public meetings of the governing body, at which time, full disclosure shall be made of the nature of the benefit, the additional employer contributions, and the funding therefor. Only after the second of these public meetings may the governing body adopt this section. The employer shall notify the board of the employer’s compliance with this subdivision at the time of the governing body’s application to adopt this section. (d) Persons hired after the effective date of an employer’s contract amendment to include this section shall be informed by the employer of how this benefit relates to their total compensation and benefit package. (e) The additional employer contributions required under this section shall be computed as a level percentage of member compensation. The additional contribution rate required at the time this section is added to a contract shall not be less than the sum of (1) the actuarial normal cost, plus (2) in the case of a contract amendment, the additional contribution required to amortize the increase in accrued liability attributable to the benefit elected under this section over the unfunded actuarial liability period currently in the agency’s contract, commencing from the date this section becomes effective in the agency’s contract. (f) For the purposes of this section, all contributions, liabilities, actuarial interest rates, and other valuation factors necessary to calculate the employer’s contribution shall be determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and methods which, in combination, provide the board’s best estimate of anticipated experience under the system. The board has the exclusive power and duty to make these determinations. (g) Within 30 days of notification from the board to the contracting agency or school employer of the additional employer contributions required pursuant to this section, the contracting agency or school employer, or a recognized employee organization, or both, may file with the board a request for a review of the determination of the calculation of the additional employer contributions. The board shall promulgate regulations governing the conduct of the review, that shall include the means by which an employer or recognized employee organization may submit independent actuarial evidence regarding the additional contribution required by this section. The board shall make the final determination on the additional employer contributions needed to fund this contract amendment. (h) This section shall not apply to a new member as defined in Section 7522.04. (Amended by Stats. 2013, Ch. 526, Sec. 8. (SB 220) Effective January 1, 2014.)

The board may by rule provide for refund of accumulated additional contributions to a member. However, a refund of additional contributions may be made to a member if an employer had made additional contributions on his or her behalf only as a part of a refund of accumulated contributions in accordance with this part. Wherever in this part provision is made with respect to additional or accumulated additional contributions of a member the term shall include contributions made by an employer pursuant to this article.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, a member who is credited with less than the years of service specified in Article 1 (commencing with Section 21060) of Chapter 12 who enters employment as a member of a public retirement system supported, in whole or in part, by state funds, including the University of California Retirement System, or as a member of a county retirement system, within six months of leaving state service, shall have the right to elect to leave accumulated contributions on deposit in the retirement fund. Failure to make an election to withdraw accumulated contributions shall be deemed an election to leave accumulated contributions on deposit in the retirement fund. This section shall also apply to a member who is subject to Section 21076 or 21076.5. (b) (1) An election to allow accumulated contributions to remain in the retirement fund may be revoked by the member at any time, except any of the following: (A) While the member is employed in state service in a position in which the member is not excluded from membership with respect to that service. (B) While the member is in service as a member of a public retirement system supported, in whole or in part, by state funds, including the University of California Retirement System.

(3) A member who is permanently separated from all service covered by the system, who is not subject to paragraph (1), and who attains the age that is one-half of a year prior to the age prescribed by Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code shall be provided with an election to withdraw contributions or, if vested, an election to either apply for service retirement or to withdraw contributions. Failure to apply for service retirement or to make an election to withdraw contributions within 90 days shall be deemed an election to withdraw contributions. If the person fails to either apply for service retirement or elect to withdraw contributions, or cannot, with reasonable diligence, be located, the accumulated contributions shall be distributed in accordance with Section 21500. (c) A member whose membership continues under this section is subject to the same age and disability requirements as apply to other members for service or for disability retirement. After the qualification of the member for retirement by reason of age, which shall be the lowest age applicable to any membership category in which the member has credited service, or disability, the member shall be entitled to receive a retirement allowance based upon the amount of the member’s accumulated contributions and service standing to the member’s credit at the time of retirement and on the employer contributions held for the member and calculated in the same manner as for other members, except that the provisions in this part for minimum service and disability retirement allowances shall not apply to the member, unless the member meets the minimum service requirements.

Contribution Procedure [20770 - 20776] ( Article 6 added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 379, Sec. 2. ) ## 20776. (a) If a basic death benefit becomes payable before the payment of the total amount the member elected to pay under any election with respect to normal contributions, arrears contributions, absences, or public service credit permitted under this part, the member’s entire compensation, or the service upon which that total amount was based, as the case may be, shall be included in the computation of the portion of the death benefit that is provided in subdivision (b) of Section 21532, and the unpaid balance of the total amount may not be paid to this system, nor may it be included in the member’s accumulated contributions that constitute a part of the basic death benefit. (b) Any balance of any total amount remaining unpaid at the death of the member on account of whom a special death benefit is payable or at the retirement of a member for industrial disability may be subject to Section 21037 when payment of the balance would not increase the allowance payable. When the balance of the amount remaining unpaid would increase the allowance payable, the balance shall become due and payable immediately, except that the survivor of a member who died under circumstances under which a special death benefit is payable and who had authorized payroll deductions may elect to continue those deductions from the survivor allowance in lieu of the lump-sum payment otherwise required. If the balance is not paid, the portion of the unpaid amount representing contributions on compensation earned in the membership applicable to the member at the time of injury resulting in death or disability shall be deducted from the benefit otherwise payable and this system shall be discharged from any liability for any annuity or benefit with respect to any remainder of the unpaid contribution. (c) Any balance of the total amount remaining unpaid at the time of retirement for service or ordinary disability, or at death, with respect to which a benefit is payable under Section 21546, may be subject to Section 21037 when payment of the balance would not increase the allowance payable. When the balance of the amount remaining unpaid would increase the allowance payable, the balance shall become due and payable immediately, except that the survivor of a member who died under circumstances under which a benefit under Section 21546 is payable and who had authorized payroll deductions may elect to continue those deductions from the survivor allowance in lieu of a lump-sum payment of the balance due. If the balance is not paid, the service credit included in the election shall be reduced proportionately and any service credit dependent on completion of payments eliminated for purposes of computing the allowance but not for purposes of determining entitlement to an allowance. (d) Notwithstanding any provision of subdivision (b) or (c), a member who retires before payment of the total amount which he or she elected to pay, may elect to pay the balance due, or the total amount if no payroll deductions had been made prior to retirement, by deductions from his or her retirement allowance equal to those which the member authorized as payroll deductions. In that case, service credit included in the election may not be reduced, nor may any prior service dependent on completion of payments be eliminated for purposes of computing the allowance. Any balance of the total amount remaining unpaid upon the death of the member shall be treated in the same manner as unpaid balances are treated if a special death benefit is payable, except that the survivor of a retired member who had authorized deductions from his or her retirement allowance in accordance with this subdivision, and who is eligible for a monthly allowance, may elect to continue those deductions from the survivor’s allowance in lieu of the lump-sum payment otherwise required. Alternatively, on or after January 1, 2020, the member, survivor, or beneficiary may elect to receive an allowance that is reduced by the actuarial equivalent of any balance remaining unpaid by the member. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, all elections with an effective date on or after January 1, 2020, including elections for normal contributions, arrears contributions, absences, or public service, shall become due and payable at the time of retirement or preretirement death. The member, survivor, or beneficiary shall have his or her allowance reduced by the actuarial equivalent of any balance remaining unpaid by the member. This subdivision does not apply to elections made under Section 21027 or 21029 for retired members. (f) Interest paid with respect to normal contributions, arrears contributions, absences, or public service credit permitted under this part, prior to date of retirement or death of the member, shall be credited to the member’s individual account. Interest paid after the date of retirement or death of the member shall be credited to the retirement fund pursuant to Section 20174. (Amended by Stats. 2018, Ch. 168, Sec. 1.

(a) The actuary may, in determining contributions required of contracting agencies, establish a contribution with respect to industrial disability allowances, special death benefits, and any other death benefit, singly or in any combination, separate from and independent of the contribution required for other benefits under their contracts. The total contribution, in that case, for the agencies as a group shall be established and from time to time adjusted by actuarial valuation performed by the actuary of the liability for the benefit or benefits on account of the employees of all those agencies. Adjustments shall affect only future contributions and shall take into account the difference between contributions on hand and the amount required to fund the allowances or benefits for which entitlement has already been established as well as liability for future entitlements to benefits. The contribution as so established and adjusted from time to time shall be allocated between the agencies on a basis that, in the opinion of the board, after recommendation of the actuary, provides an equitable distribution between the agencies. However, the allocation shall not be based on differences in the incidence of death or disability in the respective agencies. (b) (1) Whenever the board, pursuant to subdivision (a), establishes a separate contribution, it shall maintain the contribution and any contributions required to be made by employees towards the cost of the benefit or benefits as a separate account, which shall be available only for payment of the benefit or benefits and shall not be a part of the accumulated contributions under this system of any of the employers or members included. (2) All contributions in that account, irrespective of the agency from which they were received, shall be available for payment of the benefit or benefits with respect to the employees of any agency included. In the event of termination of any agency’s participation in this system, the liability with respect to all those benefits to which the agency’s employees have become entitled, after establishment of the rate and prior to the termination, shall be its contributions, as established under subdivision (a), that have become due and payable as of the date of termination.

Employer Contributions [20790 - 20842] ( Chapter 9 added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 379, Sec. 2. ) ## 20816. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, all assets of an employer shall be used in the determination of the employer contribution rate for the membership comprising the basis of the computation. Assets held shall be recognized over the same funding period used to amortize unfunded accrued actuarial obligations, whether in excess of the accrued actuarial obligation or not, using the entry age normal funding method. (b) On and after January 1, 1999, contracting agencies for which the actuarial value of assets exceeds the present value of benefits as of the most recently completed valuation, as determined by the chief actuary, may request that the board transfer employer assets to member-accumulated contribution accounts to satisfy all or a portion of the member contributions required by this part. That transfer shall be over a 12-month period provided the actuarial value of assets exceeds the present value of benefits. In determining the present value of benefits and the actuarial value of assets for purposes of this part, liabilities and assets attributed to the 1959 survivor allowance may not be included. On and after January 1, 2003, a transfer of assets may not be made pursuant to this subdivision unless all or the same portion of the member contributions of each member in a membership classification are satisfied through the transfer. An employer electing a transfer of assets pursuant to this subdivision shall satisfy the members’ contributions for a period of not less than one month and not more than one year. (c) On and after January 1, 2002, any contracting agency for which the actuarial value of assets exceeds the present value of benefits as of the most recently completed valuation, as determined by the chief actuary, may request that the board transfer from the contracting agency’s employer account excess assets, as determined by the board subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 420 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. Sec. 420), to a retiree health account established by the board, in its discretion, in the contracting agency’s employer account pursuant to Section 401(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 401(h)) for the purpose of providing health benefits to the contracting agency’s retirees and their covered dependents. The board may, in its discretion, transfer excess assets from the contracting agency’s employer account to that contracting agency’s retiree health account within that agency’s employer account, if the transfer meets the conditions of a qualified transfer pursuant to Section 420 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. Sec. 420). The transferred assets shall be used solely for the payment of current retiree health liabilities. That qualified transfer shall be made only once each year. The board may adopt regulations necessary to implement this subdivision. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the regulations may provide for the nonforfeiture of accrued pension benefits of participants and beneficiaries of a plan from which excess assets are transferred to the extent necessary for the transfer to meet the conditions of a qualified transfer pursuant to Section 420 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. Sec. 420), and may include any other provision necessary under Section 420 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. Sec. 420) or Section 401(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. Sec. 401(h)) to accomplish the purposes of this subdivision. (d) For the purpose of this section, “employer” means any contracting agency, the state, or a school employer. (e) The actuarial report in the annual financial report shall also express the effect upon employer contribution rates of this section and of the recognition of net unrealized gains and losses.

Upon notification by the Department of Finance of the timing and the amounts to be transferred, the Controller shall transfer the amount of the loan principal repayment or interest payment, as applicable, from all funds to the Surplus Money Investment Fund or to the General Fund if repayment or payments are made in advance from the General Fund. (d) If a fund has an insufficient fund balance for the repayment of loan principal or payment of interest, the Controller shall request that the Department of Finance provide direction on effecting the transfer and its timing. The implementation of this section shall not obstruct any of the trust purposes of the programs supported by funds on deposit in the Surplus Money Investment Fund and other funds in the Pooled Money Investment Account that accrue interest to the General Fund. Within one month after each calendar quarter is concluded, the Department of Finance shall submit a report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee identifying funds or accounts with an insufficient fund balance and the direction provided to the Controller on these funds. (e) On or before September 1, 2017, the Department of Finance shall submit a report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee that describes the actuarial impact on contribution rates for each state employee member category receiving a supplemental payment under this section.

(a) Notwithstanding Sections 20616, 20618, and 20815, the board may create, combine or eliminate risk pools for local miscellaneous members and local safety members. (b) The board shall establish, by regulation, the criteria under which contracting agencies shall participate in a risk pool and the criteria under which contracting agencies, county offices of education, school districts, and community college districts may participate in a risk pool. The criteria shall specify that county offices of education, school districts, and community college districts may only participate in a risk pool if the retirement formula of the risk pool is higher than the retirement formula applicable to school members. In determining the criteria, the board shall consider the expected variability of the employer contribution rate due to demographic events. In no event shall contracting agencies with more than 100 active members in a member classification be required to commence participation in a risk pool for members in that member classification. For the purpose of this subdivision an active member is a member who is an employee of the contracting agency.

For purposes of this paragraph, the service requirements of Sections 21060 and 21074 shall not include service as a National Guard member or service purchased pursuant to Section 21029.5. (2) The appointing power, as defined in Section 18524, or the Regents of the University of California or the Trustees of the California State University, transmits to the retirement fund an amount determined by the board that is equal to the actuarial equivalent of the difference between the allowance the member receives after the receipt of service credit under this section and the amount the member would have received without that service credit. The transfer to the retirement fund shall be made in a manner and time period acceptable to the employer and the board. (3) The appointing power or the regents or the trustees determines that it is electing to exercise the provisions of this section, pursuant to the Governor’s order, and certifies to the Department of Finance and to the Legislative Analyst’s Office, as to the specific economies that will be realized were the additional service credit towards retirement granted. (b) As used in this section, “member” means a state employee who is employed in a job classification, department, or other organizational unit designated by the appointing power, as defined in Section 18524, the Regents of the University of California, or the Trustees of the California State University. (c) The amount of service credit shall be two years regardless of credited service, but shall not exceed the number of years intervening between the date of the member’s retirement and the date the member would be required to be retired because of age. The appointing power or the regents or the trustees shall make the payment with respect to all eligible employees who retired pursuant to this section. (d) Any member who qualifies under this section, upon subsequent reentry to this system shall forfeit the service credit acquired under this section. (e) This section shall not apply to any member otherwise eligible if the member receives any unemployment insurance payments arising out of employment with an employer subject to this part during a period extending one year beyond the date of issuance of the executive order or if the member is not eligible to retire without the additional credit available under this section. (f) (1) The benefit provided by this section shall not be applicable to the employees of any appointing power or the regents or the trustees until the Director of Finance approves the transmittal of funds by that appointing power or the regents or the trustees to the retirement fund pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a). (2) The Director of Finance shall approve the transmittal of funds by the appointing power or the regents or the trustees not sooner than 30 days after notification in writing of the necessity therefor to the chairperson of the committee in each house that considers appropriations and the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, or not sooner than such lesser time as the chairperson of the committee, or his or her designee, may in each instance determine. If there is any written communication between the Director of Finance and the Legislative Analyst, a copy thereof shall be immediately transmitted to the chairperson of each appropriate policy committee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this part, when the governing body of a contracting agency determines that because of an impending curtailment of, or change in the manner of performing service, the best interests of the agency would be served, a local member shall be eligible to receive additional service credit if the following conditions exist: (a) The member is employed in a job classification, department, or other organizational unit designated by the governing body of the contracting agency and retires within any period designated in and subsequent to the effective date of the contract amendment, or any additional period or periods designated in any subsequently adopted resolution of the governing body of the contracting agency, provided the period is not less than 90 days nor more than 180 days. (b) The governing body agrees that the added cost to the retirement fund for all eligible employees who retire during the specified period shall be included in the contracting agency’s employer contribution rate, as determined by Section 20814. (c) The governing body shall certify that it is electing to exercise the provisions of this section, because of impending mandatory transfers, demotions, and layoffs that constitute at least 1 percent of the job classification, department, or organizational unit as designated by the governing board, resulting from the curtailment of, or change in the manner of performing, its services. (d) The governing body shall certify that it is its intention at the time that this section is made operative that if any early retirements are granted after receipt of service credit pursuant to this section, that any vacancies thus created or at least one vacancy in any position in any department or other organizational unit shall remain permanently unfilled thereby resulting in an overall reduction in the workforce of the department or organizational unit. (e) The amount of additional service credit shall be two years regardless of credited service. (f) This section is not applicable to any member otherwise eligible if the member receives any unemployment insurance payments during the specified period. (g) Any member who qualifies under this section, upon subsequent reentry to this system shall forfeit the service credit acquired under this section. (h) This section does not apply to any member who is not employed by the contracting agency during the period designated in subdivision (a) and who has less than five years of service credit. (i) This section does not apply to any contracting agency unless and until the agency elects to be subject to the provision of this section by amendment to its contract made in the manner prescribed for approval of contracts, except an election among the employees is not required, or, in the case of contracts made after January 1, 2000, by express provision in the contract making the contracting agency subject to the provisions of this section. Before adopting this provision, the governing body of a contracting agency shall, with timely public notice, place the consideration of this section on the agenda of a public meeting of the governing body, at which time disclosure shall be made of the additional employer contributions, and the funding therefor, and members of the public shall be given the opportunity to be heard. The matter may not be placed on the agenda as a consent item. Only after the public meeting may the governing body adopt this section. The governing body shall also comply with the requirements of Section 7507. The employer shall notify the board of the employer’s compliance with this subdivision at the time of the governing body’s application to adopt this section. (j) The contracts of contracting agencies that adopted the provisions of former Section 20903, prior to the repeal of that section on January 1, 1999, shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and the terms of this section. Notwithstanding subdivision (i), those contracting agencies need not amend their contracts or otherwise comply with the requirements of subdivision (i) to be subject to this section. Without limiting the foregoing, eligibility periods under subdivision (a) of former Section 20903, designated by the governing body of a contracting agency by resolution pursuant to the terms of its contract or contract amendment, shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms as if designated pursuant to this section. (k) Notwithstanding Section 20790, an election to become subject to this section may not exclude an agency from the definition of “employer” for purposes of Section 20790.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 20903 or any other provision of this part, for only the 1994–95, 1995–96, 1996–97, 1997–98, and 1998–99 fiscal years, when the governing body of a contracting agency, other than a school employer, determines that because of an impending curtailment of service, or change in the manner of performing service, the best interests of the agency would be served by encouraging the retirement of local members, the governing body may adopt a resolution to grant eligible employees additional service credit if the following conditions exist: (1) The member meets the age and service requirements of Section 21060, is credited with 10 or more years of service, and retires on service retirement on or before a date determined by the governing body that is within a period that is not more than 120 days after the governing body’s adoption of the resolution. (2) The governing body agrees to transmit to the retirement fund an amount determined by the board that is equal to the actuarial equivalent of the difference between the allowance the member receives after the receipt of service credit under this section and the amount the member would have received without that service credit and any administrative costs incurred by this system in a manner and time period acceptable to the governing body and the board. However, the payment period shall not exceed five years. If payment in full is not received within 30 days of the invoice, regular interest shall be charged on any unpaid balance. (b) (1) The resolution shall specify the categories of employees that are eligible to receive the additional service credit and the departments, programs and position classifications in which employee members would be eligible for the additional service credit. (2) The resolution shall specify the period of eligibility, and the amount of additional service in whole years. The amount of additional service credit shall not be more than four years and shall not be combined with any additional service credit granted under Section 20903. (c) (1) The governing body shall certify either that sufficient positions have been deleted whose total cost equals or exceeds the lump-sum actuarial cost of the additional service credit granted or that all positions vacated due to the additional service credit granted pursuant to this section shall remain vacant for at least five years and until the lump-sum actuarial cost of the additional service credit granted has been recaptured from position vacancy salary savings. (2) The governing body shall certify to the board the extent to which savings will exceed necessary payments to the board, the specific measures to be taken to assure that outcome, and that the agency has complied with Section 7507. The board may require the governing body to provide verification of its certification through independent review. (d) At the time the governing body has achieved savings that are more than adequate to meet necessary payments to the board, or five years after commencement of the retirement period specified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), whichever occurs first, the governing body shall certify to the board the amount of actual savings and the measures taken to achieve the savings. The governing body shall maintain records for each worker retiring pursuant to this section. The board may require the governing body to provide verification of its certification through independent review. The board shall report these certifications to the Controller, who shall summarize the cost and savings information therein for inclusion in his or her annual report prepared pursuant to Sections 7501 through 7504. The Controller shall perform a postaudit to verify that the savings equal or exceed the lump-sum actuarial cost of the additional service granted pursuant to this section. The local contracting agency shall pay the cost of the postaudit. (e) This section shall not be applicable to any member otherwise eligible if the member receives any unemployment insurance payments arising out of employment with an employer subject to this part during a period extending two years beyond the date of issuance of the governing body’s determination or if the member is not eligible to retire without the additional credit available under this section. (f) Any member who qualifies under this section, upon subsequent reentry into this system or upon any subsequent service under contract or any other basis, shall forfeit the service credit acquired under this section. Any member who qualifies under this section shall not receive temporary reemployment as an annuitant with the public agency from which he or she has received credit under this section for five years following the date of retirement. (g) No additional service credit shall be granted pursuant to this section on or after July 1, 1999. (Amended by Stats. 1997, Ch. 458, Sec. 1. Effective September 24, 1997.)
