	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Ashburn

                        FEBRUARY 1, 2010

   An act relating to the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care
Act.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 922, as introduced, Ashburn. Public Employees' Medical and
Hospital Care Act: employer contributions: Placer County.
   Existing law requires the Board of Administration of the Public
Employees' Retirement System to administer the Public Employees'
Medical and Hospital Care Act. Existing law permits a contracting
agency to elect to be subject to the act for its employees and
annuitants, provided that the contracting agency and each employee or
annuitant contribute a portion of the cost of providing the benefit
coverage afforded under the health benefit plan approved or
maintained by the board in which the employee or annuitant may be
enrolled. Existing law specifies that the employer contribution of a
contracting agency begins on the effective date of enrollment and is
the amount fixed from time to time by resolution of the governing
body of the agency.
   This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would enable Placer County and a collective
bargaining unit, by agreement in a memorandum of understanding, to
permit the county, a contracting agency under the Public Employees'
Medical and Hospital Care Act, to make an employer contribution for
employees first hired on or after the effective date of the
memorandum of understanding at a rate that may differ from the
employer contribution rate for current employees and annuitants.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would enable Placer County and a collective
bargaining unit, by agreement in a memorandum of understanding, to
permit the county, a contracting agency under the Public Employees'
Medical and Hospital Care Act, to make an employer contribution for
employees first hired on or after the effective date of the
memorandum of understanding at a rate that may differ from the
employer contribution rate for current employees and annuitants.
