LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law, the County Fire Service Retirement Law, administered by the County Foresters, Firewardens, and County Fire Protection District Firemen’s Retirement Board, prescribes additional retirement benefits to county foresters, firewardens, and firefighters who are members of the system when specified conditions are met. Existing law provides that a person retiring for service, as specified, shall receive a pension payable in equal monthly installments during their lifetime, equal to one-half of the person’s terminal salary, not to exceed $250 a month.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 32351 of the Government Code is amended to read:

32351.

Any A person retiring for service shall receive a pension payable in equal monthly installments during his their lifetime, equal to one-half of his the person’s terminal salary, not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250) a month. If a member is subject to the provisions of Section 32341 and does not exercise the option provided for therein, the amount shall not exceed one hundred fifty dollars ($150) per month.
