	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 130, Alejo. Health care districts: chief executive officers:
benefits.
   The Local Health Care District Law governs the organization and
management of local health care districts, formerly known and
sometimes referred to as local hospital districts. Among other
things, that law authorizes the board of supervisors of a local
health care district to establish, maintain, and operate, or provide
assistance in the operation of, one or more health facilities or
health services, including, but not limited to, retirement programs,
services, and facilities. The law also authorizes a local health care
district to enter into a written employment contract with a chief
executive officer.
   This bill would instead authorize a local health care district to
enter into an employment contract with a hospital administrator,
including a hospital administrator who is designated as chief
executive officer. The bill would also prohibit a health care
district from entering into, or renewing, an employment contract with
a hospital administrator, including a hospital administrator who is
designated as chief executive officer, on or after January 1, 2014,
that authorizes retirement plan benefits to be paid to the hospital
administrator prior to his or her retirement.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 32121.5 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:
   32121.5.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
division, a health care district may enter into a contract of
employment with a hospital administrator, including a hospital
administrator who is designated as chief executive officer, the
duration of which shall not exceed four years, but which may
periodically be renewed for a term of not more than four years.
   (b) A contract entered into, or renewed, on or after January 1,
2014, shall not authorize retirement plan benefits to be paid to a
hospital administrator, including a hospital administrator who is
designated as chief executive officer, prior to his or her
retirement.
