DATE'. April 1, 1986 COU*
SUBJECT: Legislation: AB 4294 (Tucker)
SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 4294 by Assemblyman Tucker.
BACKGROUND:
The existing County employees' retirement law of 1937 does not
require employers to allow release time for employees who are
elected to the Retirement Board to attend meetings of the
Retirement Board, its committees, and to otherwise attend to
Retirement Board business without loss of compensation and other
benefits.
AB 4294 has been introduced by Assemblyman Tucker. The bill
would require employers to provide such release time for their
employees who are elected members of the Retirement Board. The
bill would also require the State to reimburse local agencies for
the costs mandated by AB 4294.
Contra Costa County already allows its employees who are elected
to the Retirement Board a reasonable amount of released time to
attend to Retirement Board business. As a result, AB 4294 would
not impose any additional requirements beyond those which have
been voluntarily undertaken by the County. The advantage of AB
4294 is that it would make this release time a State mandate
thereby making the cost of salary and benefits for such release
time eligible for State reimbursement.
