AB 1067: Public employees’ retirement: felony convictions.

This bill adds a new section to the government code that relates to public employees' retirement. It requires public employers to continue investigating misconduct that may involve a crime, even if the employee retires while under investigation. The investigation must be referred to the appropriate law enforcement agency, and the public employer can then close the investigation. If the employee is convicted of a felony for conduct related to their job, they will forfeit all accrued rights and benefits in public retirement systems. The bill also requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for costs mandated by the state.
