GOVERNMENT CODE

SECTION 20350-20356

20350. Notwithstanding Section 20638, if a member on deferred
retirement from this system is eligible to retire for service from a
reciprocal retirement system and does so retire prior to the time the
member becomes entitled to retire under this system, his or her
retirement shall be deemed a concurrent retirement for purposes of
computing final compensation under Section 20638.

20351. The provisions of this part extending rights to a member of
this system, or subjecting him or her to any limitation by reason of
his or her membership in a county retirement system , shall apply in
like manner and under like conditions to a member of this system by
reason of his or her membership in any retirement system established
under Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 45300) of Division 5 of
Title 4 with respect to which an ordinance complying with Section
45310.5 has been filed with and accepted by the board or by reason of
his or her membership in a retirement system established by or
pursuant to the charter of a city or city and county or by any other
public agency of this state and that system, in the opinion of the
board, provides a similar modification of rights and benefits because
of membership in this system and with respect to which the governing
body of the city, city and county or public agency and the board
have entered into agreement pursuant to this section. An agreement
under this section shall provide that the governing body shall modify
its retirement system to conform to any amendments to this part
affecting a member's right because of membership in a county
retirement system , and may contain other provisions consistent with
this section as the board deems appropriate. This section shall apply
only to a member whose termination and entry into employment
resulting in a change in membership from this system to the other
system or from the other system to this system occurred after the
acceptance by the board or after the effective date specified in the
agreement. However, provisions relating to computation of final
compensation shall apply to any other member if the provision would
have applied had the termination and entry into employment occurred
after the acceptance or determination by the board.

20352. The provisions of this part extending rights to a member of
this system or subjecting him or her to any limitation, by reason of
his or her membership in a county retirement system shall also apply
to members who terminated state employment and became an employee of
a fire district within six months of the termination, and who were
employees of the district at the time that the district became
subject to the county retirement system.
This section shall only be operative with respect to a county
where the board of supervisors has made Section 31840.5 applicable in
that county.

20353. Any public agency that has pursuant to the provisions of
Section 20351 entered into an agreement to establish a reciprocal
retirement system with this system shall be deemed to have obtained
the same rights and limitations with respect to all other public
agencies who have entered into those agreements and established
reciprocity as well as with respect to county retirement systems and
under Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 45300) of Division 5 of
Title 4 that have established reciprocity with this system pursuant
to Section 20351.

20354. The provisions of this part extending rights to a member of
this system by reason of his or her membership in a county retirement
system shall also apply to members who terminated state employment
on or after June 30, 1971, but because of county budget problems were
not employed in the permanent positions to which they would
otherwise have been assigned and did not become permanent county
employees until on or before January 4, 1972.

20355. Wherever in this part the rights of a member, because of
membership in another retirement system, are conditioned upon
employment within 90 days of termination of membership in this system
or another retirement system, with respect to that employment that
occurs on and after January 1, 1976, the period shall be six months
rather than 90 days.
This section shall also be applicable to members who were
permanent employees of the state who were laid off because of a
reduction in work force and whose break in service between retirement
systems occurred prior to January 1, 1976, but not before April 1,
1970.

20356. Whenever in this part the rights of a local member, because
of membership in another retirement system, are conditioned upon
employment within six months of termination of membership in this
system or another retirement system, the period shall be one year
rather than six months if the local member was an elective officer
and becomes a member of another retirement system upon commencement
of service in another elective office on and after January 1, 1977.
This section shall not apply unless the other employer in a
reciprocal system elected a similar provision, nor shall it apply to
any contracting agency nor to the employees of any contracting agency
unless that agency elected to be subject to the provisions of this
section in its contract with the board on or before December 31,
2001.
