Statute text

(a)Any amount that would otherwise be used to permanently increase compensation pursuant to Section 19827, effective on July 1, 2009, and on July 1, 2010, shall instead be used to permanently prefund postemployment health care benefits for patrol members. The amount used to prefund benefits relative to any increases under the survey methodology effective July 1, 2010, shall not exceed 2 percent. The state shall take credit for these prefunding contributions in the survey methodology established in Section 19827 in the same manner as it would for an increase to the base salary for patrol members.

(b)Patrol members shall contribute an additional 0.5 percent of base pay toward prefunding retiree health benefit obligations effective on the first day of the pay period following the effective date of the act adding this section and the ratification of the addendum by the members of State Bargaining Unit 5. This contribution shall not reduce the base salary of patrol members under the survey methodology established by Section 19827.

(c)Effective July 1, 2012, the state shall contribute toward prefunding retiree health benefits, on a prospective basis, an amount at least equal to the combined contribution rate established pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b). These contributions may be used in the survey methodology established by Section 19827 if mutually agreed in a memorandum of understanding.
