LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law creates state and local public pension and retirement systems that provide pension benefits based on age at retirement, service credit, and final compensation. Existing law provides that each retirement system that covers positions of police officers or firefighters, or both, and other positions shall constitute a separate retirement system with respect to the positions of police officers or firefighters, or both, covered by the system. Existing law also provides that if the federal system of Old-Age, Survivor’s, and Disability Insurance is extended to any firefighter’s or police officer’s position, it shall be extended to them as a unit without division of their separate retirement systems.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
