31542
. (a) The board shall establish a procedure for assessing and
determining whether an element of compensation was paid to enhance a
member's retirement benefit. If the board determines that
compensation was paid to enhance a member's benefit, the member or
the employer may present evidence that the compensation was not paid
for that purpose. Upon receipt of sufficient evidence to the
contrary, a board may reverse its determination that compensation was
paid to enhance a member's retirement benefits.
(b) Upon a final determination by the board that compensation was
paid to enhance a member's retirement benefit, the board shall
provide notice of that determination to the member and employer. The
member or employer may obtain judicial review of the board's action
by filing a petition for writ of mandate within 30 days of the
mailing of that notice.
(c) Compensation that a member was entitled to receive pursuant to
a collective bargaining agreement that was subsequently deferred or
otherwise modified as a result of a negotiated amendment of that
agreement shall be considered compensation earnable and shall not be
deemed to have been paid to enhance a member's retirement benefit.
