§ 20891 Retirement Fund Reclassification Exemption
Imagine you used to work a regular state job and took out some of your retirement savings when you left. Now you become a firefighter. Normally, some old retirement rules wouldn’t apply to you, but if you want them to, you have to pay back what you took out, plus interest, and also pay extra money you would have saved if you’d been a firefighter the whole time.
This law says that if you switch to a job like a police officer or firefighter, you don’t have to follow some old retirement rules unless you choose to. If you choose to, you have to pay back money you took out earlier, plus interest, and also pay extra money you would have saved under different rules.
