Section 21362.2 Of Article 4. Retirement For Service From California Government Code >> Division 5. >> Title 2. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 13. >> Article 4.
21362.2
. (a) Upon attaining the age of 50 years or more, the
combined current and prior service pension for state patrol members
and for local safety members with respect to local safety service
rendered to a contracting agency that is subject to the provisions of
this section is a pension derived from the contributions of the
employer sufficient when added to the service retirement annuity that
is derived from the accumulated normal contributions of the member
at the date of his or her retirement to equal 3 percent of his or her
final compensation at retirement, multiplied by the number of years
of patrol service or local safety service subject to this section
with which he or she is credited at retirement.
(b) In no event shall the current service pension and the combined
current and prior service pensions under this section for all
service to all employers exceed an amount that, when added to the
service retirement annuity related to that service, equals 85 percent
of final compensation. For state patrol members with respect to
service for all state employers under this section, the benefit shall
not exceed 90 percent of final compensation. If the pension relates
to service to more than one employer and would otherwise exceed that
maximum, the pension payable with respect to each employer shall be
reduced in the same proportion as the allowance based on service to
that employer bears to the total allowance computed as though there
were no limit, so that the total of the pensions shall equal the
maximum. Where a state or local member has service under this section
with both state and local agency employers, the higher maximum shall
apply and the additional benefit shall be funded by increasing the
member's pension payable with respect to the employer for whom the
member performed the service subject to the higher maximum.
(c) For patrol members employed by the state on or after January
1, 2000, this section shall supersede Section 21362.
(d) This section shall not apply to state safety or state peace
officer/firefighter members.
(e) This section shall not apply to any contracting agency nor its
employees unless and until the agency elects to be subject to the
provisions of this section by amendment to its contract made in the
manner prescribed for approval of contracts or, in the case of
contracts made after the date this section becomes operative, by
express provision in the contract making the contracting agency
subject to this section. The operative date of this section for a
local safety member shall be the effective date of the amendment to
his or her employer's contract electing to be subject to this
section.
(f) This section shall supersede Section 21362, 21363, 21363.1,
21366, 21368, 21369, or 21370, whichever is then applicable, with
respect to local safety members who retire after the date this
section becomes applicable to their respective employers.
(g) The Legislature reserves, with respect to any member subject
to this section, the right to provide for the adjustment of
industrial disability retirement allowances because of earnings of a
retired person and modification of the conditions and qualifications
required for retirement for disability as it may find appropriate
because of the earlier ages of service retirement made possible by
the benefits under this section.
(h) Operation and application of this section is subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 21251.13.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, this
section shall not apply to a state patrol member who is employed by
the state for the first time and becomes a state patrol member of the
system on or after October 31, 2010, and is represented by State
Bargaining Unit 5. With respect to related state patrol members in
managerial, supervisory, or confidential positions and officers or
employees of the executive branch of state government who are not
members of the civil service, the Director of Human Resources may
exercise his or her discretion whether to approve their status in
writing to the board.
