AB 65 California Assembly · 2009-2010 Regular Session

Public employee health benefits: vision care: local, school, and university members.

Summary
Existing law establishes the Vision Care Program for State Annuitants, which is administered by the Department of Personnel Administration, and creates the Vision Care Program for State Annuitants Fund in the State Treasury, which is continuously appropriated, for expenditure solely for the provision of vision care benefits to state annuitants. This bill would establish a similar vision care program for specified local members, school members, and university members, and their dependents to be known as the Retired Public Employees Vision Care Program. The bill would require the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System, on or before January 1, 2011, to administer the program, and would create the Retired Public Employees Vision Care Program Fund, which would be continuously appropriated for those purposes. The bill would also require the board to terminate the program upon a specified circumstance.
