Chapter 32. San Francisco Local System of California Education Code >> Division 1. >> Title 1. >> Part 13. >> Chapter 32.

On July 1, 1972, and thereafter all persons who first enter employment in the San Francisco Unified School District or the San Francisco Community College District to perform creditable service subject to coverage under the Defined Benefit Program are members of the plan in accordance with Section 22501. These new members are excluded from coverage under Subchapter II (commencing with Section 401) of Chapter 7 of Title 42 of the United States Code, for service performed as a member of the plan.

Those credentialed members of the San Francisco Employees' Retirement System on June 30, 1972, who make an irrevocable election to be covered only by the State Teachers' Retirement Plan under this part for prior and future service performed in San Francisco, shall be allowed to be covered for other certificated service concurrently, where the provisions of the city and county charter permit. This shall not include any credited service, as defined in Section 22121.

(a) All persons on the San Francisco system retired rolls on June 30, 1972, shall remain on the local rolls. The State Teachers' Retirement System shall continue the subvention in Section 24706 for those persons, shall apply the percentage update and annual improvement factor to payments being made under the Defined Benefit Program directly to those persons, and shall pay the retired death payment upon their death.
  (b) The allowance that would have been payable had the member retired solely under the Defined Benefit Program, including the percentage update calculated under Sections 14332, 14333, and 14334, as enacted by Chapter 2 of the Statutes of 1959, as those sections read on December 31, 1974, shall be taken into account in computing the amount of increase for the ten dollar ($10) a month per year of service minimum unmodified allowance.

Persons who select to be covered only by the Defined Benefit Program and already have credit for classified or other noncertificated service in the San Francisco system shall not have that credit transferred to the Defined Benefit Program.

The San Francisco Employees' Retirement System shall provide concurrent retirement benefits for classified and other noncertificated service in the San Francisco system according to the provisions applicable to miscellaneous employees of the time of the concurrent retirement for:
  (a) Members of that system who transfer to the Defined Benefit Program after June 30, 1972.
  (b) Persons who were members of both the San Francisco system and the Defined Benefit Program on June 30, 1972.
  (c) A person who could have qualified under subdivision (b) if he or she had not taken a refund from either the San Francisco system or the Defined Benefit Program, but not both, provided the person qualifies for and redeposits prior to retirement.

Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 24201, a member of the San Francisco system may retire concurrently and receive credit for service performed in other states of the United States, its territories and possessions, and in Canada.

The system shall pay from the fund to the San Francisco Unified School District and the San Francisco Community College District the amounts due for subventions required prior to July 1, 1972, on account of persons who retired or died prior to that date.
