§ 31502 County Retirement System Adoption

Key Takeaways

  • •This law lets certain places (like schools or hospitals run by multiple counties) join a county retirement plan if at least one of the counties involved has already agreed to it.
  • •The workers at these places will then be part of that county’s retirement system.
  • •The place where they work has to pay its fair share of the costs to keep the retirement system running.

Example

A hospital is run by two counties, and one of them already has a retirement plan for its workers.

The hospital can vote to join that county’s retirement plan. If they do, all the hospital workers will start using that plan, and the hospital will help pay for it.

This chapter may be made effective by a resolution adopted by a majority of the governing board or committee of any institution operated by two or more counties, or by a majority of the governing board or committee of any district as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 31468, if one of the counties involved in the operation of the institution has adopted its provisions, or, in the case of a district as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 31468, if one of the counties comprising the organization or association has adopted its provisions. Upon the adoption of the resolution the employees of the institution shall become members of the retirement system of the county designated by the governing board or committee of the institution, and all contributions made by the employees and by the institution shall be paid into the county retirement system of the county selected.
