Section 20814 Of Chapter 9. Employer Contributions From California Government Code >> Division 5. >> Title 2. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 9.
20814
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the state's
contribution under this chapter shall be adjusted from time to time
in the annual Budget Act according to the following method: as part
of the proposed budget, the Governor shall include the contribution
rates adopted by the board for the liability of benefits on account
of employees of the state. The Legislature shall adopt the board's
contribution rates and authorize the appropriation in the Budget Act.
(b) In the event a memorandum of understanding goes into effect
pursuant to the Ralph C. Dills Act (Chapter 10.3 (commencing with
Section 3512) of Division 4 of Title 1) that was not previously
considered by the board in adopting its most recent annual employer
contribution rates and that memorandum of understanding contains a
change in employee retirement contributions, benefits, or pension
plan design, including a change that alters a state employee's
retirement contributions, or there is a change in unrepresented
employees' retirement contributions, benefits, or pension plan design
to be consistent with those of related classifications and groups of
represented employees, the board may, in its discretion, adopt new
quarterly employer contribution rates for future contributions for
the state plans to reflect these changes. If the board adopts new
rates for the state plans to reflect a change in employee retirement
contributions, benefits, or pension plan design, the Director of
Finance shall reduce or increase the percentage levels of the state's
retirement contribution to reflect the new rates. Nothing in this
section shall require the board to take action as described herein
unless the board determines, in good faith, that the action described
herein is consistent with the fiduciary responsibilities of the
board described in Section 17 of Article XVI of the California
Constitution.
(c) The employer contribution rates for all other public employers
under this system shall be determined on an annual basis by the
actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a
change in rate.
