	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 130, as amended, 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  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 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.
