INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Alejo

                        JANUARY 15, 2013

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 130, as introduced, 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 prohibit a local health care district from
entering into, or renewing, an employment contract with a chief
executive officer on or after January 1, 2014, that authorizes
retirement plan benefits to be paid to the chief executive officer
prior to his or her retirement. The bill would also make
nonsubstantive, technical and clarifying changes.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
