GOV § 21363.3 Effective Jan 7, 2011Div. 5 · Title 2 · Part 3 · Ch. 13 · Art. 4

Statute text

(a)The combined current and prior service pensions for state peace officer/firefighter members described in Section 20394 is a pension derived from the contributions of the employer sufficient when added to the service retirement annuity that is derived from the accumulated normal contributions of the member at the date of his or her retirement to equal 3 percent of his or her final compensation at the age of 50 years, multiplied by the number of years of state peace officer/firefighter service subject to this section with which he or she is credited at retirement.

(b)In no event shall the current service pension and the combined current and prior service pensions under this section for all service to all employers exceed an amount that, when added to the service retirement annuity related to that service, equals 90 percent of final compensation. If the pension relates to service to more than one employer and would otherwise exceed that maximum, the pension payable with respect to each employer shall be reduced in the same proportion as the allowance based on service to that employer bears to the total allowance computed as though there were no limit, so that the total of the pensions shall equal the maximum. Where a state peace officer/firefighter member has service under this section, or other safety retirement formulas pursuant to this part with state or local agency employers, the higher maximum shall apply and the additional benefit shall be funded by increasing the member’s pension payable with respect to the state employer.

(c)This section shall apply to state peace officer/firefighter members described in Section 20394 if authorized by, and in accordance with, a memorandum of understanding reached between the Trustees of the California State University and the recognized employee organization pursuant to Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 3560) of Division 4 of Title 1. This section may also apply to sworn peace officer/firefighter members described in Section 20394 in related management positions, if the Trustees of the California State University have approved the application in writing to the Board of Administration of the Public Employees’ Retirement System.
