	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2510, Fletcher. Public employees' retirement: contracting
agencies: postretirement health coverage.
   The Public Employees' Retirement Law permits any public agency, as
defined, to enter into a contract to participate in the Public
Employees' Retirement System, as specified. The Public Employees'
Medical and Hospital Care Act authorizes the Board of Administration
of the Public Employees' Retirement System to contract with carriers
for health benefit plans and major medical plans for employees and
annuitants, as defined.
   This bill would authorize the City of San Diego to enter into an
agreement with specified employees to provide employer contributions
for postretirement health care coverage to employees with at least 10
years of credited service with the City of San Diego, effective for
employees that retire on or after the date that a memorandum of
understanding that authorizes this benefit becomes effective.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 22894 is added to the Government Code, to read:

   22894.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, the
City of San Diego, the employees' exclusive representative, and
unrepresented employees may agree that the employer contribution for
postretirement health coverage shall be subject to the following:
   (1) Credited years of service that the employee worked with the
City of San Diego.
   (2) A memorandum of understanding regarding postretirement health
coverage mutually agreed upon through collective bargaining. This
issue may not be subject to the impasse procedures set forth in
Article 9 (commencing with Section 3548) of Chapter 10.7 of Division
4 of Title 1.
   (b) This section is not applicable to any employee who retired
before the effective date of the memorandum of understanding. In the
event that the memorandum of understanding establishes a retroactive
effective date, this section applies only prospectively and any
employee who retires before the memorandum of understanding is signed
may not be affected by it.
   (c) No agreement reached pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be
valid if it provides an employer contribution for employees with less
than 10 years of credited service with the City of San Diego.
   (d) The City of San Diego shall provide, in the manner prescribed
by the board, a notification of the agreement established pursuant to
this section and any additional information necessary to implement
this section.
   (e) This section shall only apply to employees who are either of
the following:
   (1) Members of the San Diego Police Officers Association.
   (2) Unclassified or unrepresented employees of the City of San
Diego.
