The Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) creates the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) for the purpose of providing pensions and benefits to public employees and their beneficiaries and prescribes the rights and duties of employers participating in the system. PERL authorizes public agencies to join PERS pursuant to contract and defines “employer” for purposes of contributions by employers that are contract members of the system.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that definition.
