Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
Notwithstanding Sections 20035 and 20037, “final compensation” for the purpose of determining any pension or benefit with respect to a patrol member who retires or dies on or after July 1, 2004, who was a member of State Bargaining Unit 5, and whose monthly salary range that was to be effective July 1, 2004, was reduced by 5 percent pursuant to an addendum to a memorandum of understanding entered during the 2004–05 fiscal year, “final compensation” means the highest annual compensation the patrol member would have earned as of July 1, 2004, if that 5 percent reduction had not occurred. This section shall only apply if the period during which the patrol member’s salary was reduced would have otherwise been included in determining his or her final compensation.
The increased costs, if any, that may result from the application of the definition of “final compensation” provided in this section shall be paid by the employer in the same manner as other retirement benefits are funded.
