AB 569: California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013: exceptions: supplemental defined benefit plans.

This bill allows public employers to bargain over contributions for supplemental retirement benefits administered by an exclusive bargaining representative of one or more of their bargaining units. It authorizes public employers to offer supplemental defined benefit plans to new employees who join after the bill's effective date, as long as the employer did not offer such plans before January 1, 2013. The bill restricts the employer's ability to offer these plans to additional employee groups after the bill's effective date. It also permits public employers to negotiate contributions for these supplemental retirement benefits, subject to the existing restrictions on defined benefit pension plans.
