- Title
- District attorneys, prosecutors, office of prosecution services' attorneys, retirement benefits and allowances further provided for; membership of District Attorneys' Plan expanded; participation in supernumerary program and employees retirement system further provided for
- Description
Under existing law, only district attorneys are included as members of the District Attorneys' Plan and have certain retirement benefits available to them.
This bill would expand the definition of "member" to include full-time prosecutors employed by a district attorney's office and full-time attorneys employed by the Office of Prosecution Services.
This bill would further provide for the retirement allowances and benefits of district attorneys, full-time prosecutors employed by a district attorney's office, and full-time attorneys employed by the Office of Prosecution Services.
Also under existing law, district attorneys are not authorized to participate in both the supernumerary district attorney program and the Employees' Retirement System.
This bill would authorize district attorneys who independently qualify for the supernumerary district attorney program and the Employees' Retirement System based on separate years of service to participate in both programs.
This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
