	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Morrell

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2016

   An act to amend Section 20283 of the Government Code, relating to
retirement.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1086, as introduced, Morrell. Public employees: retirement.
   The Public Employees' Retirement Law creates the Public Employees'
Retirement System (PERS), which provides a defined benefit to its
members based on age at retirement, service credit, and final
compensation. Existing law requires an employer that fails to enroll
an employee into membership in PERS at the time the employee becomes
eligible, as specified, to pay arrears costs for member contributions
and administrative costs of $500 as reimbursement to the system and
prohibite the employer from passing those costs on to the employee.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 20283 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   20283.  (a)  Any   An  employer that
fails to enroll an employee into membership when he or she becomes
eligible, or within 90 days thereof, when the employer knows or can
reasonably be expected to have known of that eligibility shall be
required to pay all arrears costs for member contributions and
administrative costs of five hundred dollars ($500) per member as a
reimbursement to this system's current year budget.
   (b) An employer shall not pass on to an employee any costs
assessed pursuant to subdivision (a).
