Public employees' retirement: disability retirement: reinstatement.

The Public Employees' Retirement Law (PERL) creates the Public Employees' Retirement System, which provides pension and other benefits to members of the system and prescribes conditions for service after retirement. PERL and the California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 establish various limits on retirement benefits generally applicable to a public employee retirement system, and prescribes, among other things, limits on service after retirement without reinstatement into the applicable retirement system. PERL authorizes a person retired for disability to be employed by any employer without reinstatement in the system if specified conditions are met, including, among others, that the person is below the mandatory age for retirement for persons in the job in which the person will be employed, the person is found by the board to not be disabled for that employment, and the position is not the position from which the person retired or a position in the same member classification from which the person retired. This bill would prohibit a person who has retired for disability from being employed by any employer without reinstatement from retirement if the position is the position from which the person retired or if the position includes duties or activities that the person was previously restricted from performing at the time of retirement, unless an exception applies. The bill would require, if a person retired for disability is employed by an employer without reinstatement, an employer to provide to the board the nature of the employment and the duties and activities the person will perform.
