The credited service may include service credited to the account of the member as of the date of the dissolution or legal separation, previously refunded service, out-of-state service, and permissive service credit that the member is eligible to purchase at the time of the dissolution or legal separation.

(2) The nonmember spouse has at least two and one-half years of credited service in his or her separate account.

(3) The nonmember spouse has attained 55 years of age or more.

(b) A service retirement allowance of a nonmember spouse under this part shall become effective upon a date designated by the nonmember spouse, provided:

(1) The requirements of subdivision (a) are satisfied.

(2) The nonmember spouse has filed an application for service retirement on a properly executed form provided by the system, that is executed no earlier than six months before the effective date of the retirement allowance.

(3) The effective date is no earlier than the first day of the month that the application is received at the system’s headquarters office and the effective date is after the date the judgment or court order pursuant to Section 22652 was entered.

(c) (1) Upon service retirement at normal retirement age under this part, the nonmember spouse shall receive a retirement allowance that shall consist of an annual allowance payable in monthly installments equal to 2 percent of final compensation for each year of credited service.

(2) If the nonmember spouse’s retirement is effective at less than normal retirement age and between early retirement age under this part and normal retirement age, the retirement allowance shall be reduced by one-half of 1 percent for each full month, or fraction of a month, that will elapse until the nonmember spouse would have reached normal retirement age.

(3) If the nonmember spouse’s service retirement is effective at an age greater than normal retirement age and is effective on or after January 1, 1999, the percentage of final compensation for each year of credited service shall be determined pursuant to the following table:

Age at Retirement Percentage

(5) Final compensation, for purposes of calculating the service retirement allowance of the nonmember spouse under this subdivision, shall be calculated according to the definition of final compensation in Section 22134, 22134.5, or 22135, whichever is applicable, and shall be based on the member’s compensation earnable up to the date the parties separated, as established in the judgment or court order pursuant to Section 22652. The nonmember spouse shall not be entitled to use any other calculation of final compensation.

(d) Upon service retirement under this part, the nonmember spouse shall receive a retirement benefit based on an amount equal to the balance of credits in the nonmember spouse’s Defined Benefit Supplement account on the date the retirement benefit becomes payable.

(1) A retirement benefit shall be a lump-sum payment, or an annuity payable in monthly installments, or a combination of both a lump-sum payment and an annuity, as elected by the nonmember spouse on the application for a retirement benefit. A retirement benefit paid as an annuity under this chapter shall be subject to Sections 22660, 25011, and 25011.1.

(2) Upon distribution of the entire retirement benefit in a lump-sum payment, no other benefit shall be payable to the nonmember spouse or the nonmember spouse’s beneficiary under the Defined Benefit Supplement Program.

(e) If the member is or was receiving a disability allowance under this part with an effective date before or on the date the parties separated as established in the judgment or court order pursuant to Section 22652, or at any time applies for and receives a disability allowance with an effective date that is before or coincides with the date the parties separated as established in the judgment or court order pursuant to Section 22652, the nonmember spouse shall not be eligible to retire until after the disability allowance of the member terminates.

If at the end of the six-month period, the member has not had a recurrence of the original disability or has not had his or her earnings fall below the amounts described in Section 24015, the nonmember spouse may be paid a retirement allowance if all other eligibility requirements are met.

(1) The retirement allowance of the nonmember spouse under this subdivision shall be calculated as follows: the disability allowance the member was receiving, exclusive of the portion for dependent children, shall be divided between the share of the member and the share of the nonmember spouse.

(b) The Superintendent shall set criteria for, and may grant specific waivers of, the priorities established in this section for agencies that wish to serve specific populations, including children with exceptional needs or children of prisoners.

Any adopted findings shall demonstrate how divestment disadvantages the fund and that any feasible investment alternatives would yield a lower rate of return with commensurate degrees of risk, or create a higher degree of risk with commensurate rates of return. Notwithstanding any other law, any determination that an action would fail to satisfy the fiduciary responsibilities of the board as described in Section 17 of Article XVI of the California Constitution shall require a recorded rollcall vote of the full board, following a presentation and discussion of findings in open session, during a properly noticed public hearing of the full board. All proposed findings of the board shall be made public 72 hours before they are considered by the board, and the board shall maintain a list of interested parties who shall be notified of proposed findings 72 hours before board consideration.

Status: in_force

(a) As used in this section, “not insured” includes a public entity that has no liability insurance or is self-insured by itself, or through an insurance pooling arrangement, a joint powers agreement, the Local Agency Self Insurance Authority, or any other similar arrangement.

(b) If a public entity has commercial insurance as to a portion of the judgment, this section shall only apply to that portion of the judgment which is “not insured” as defined in this section.

(c) A judgment against a public entity may be ordered to be paid by periodic payments only if ordered under Section 667.7 of the Code of Civil Procedure or Section 970.6, or if the public entity has made an election under subdivision (d), or if the parties have agreed to it.

(d) If, after making any deductions pursuant to Section 985 of the Government Code, the judgment on a tort claims action against a public entity that is not insured is greater than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), the public entity may elect to pay the judgment in periodic payments as provided in this subdivision.

Effective January 1, 1990, the five hundred thousand dollar ($500,000) threshold amount shall be five hundred fifty thousand dollars ($550,000). Effective January 1, 1992, that amount shall be six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000). Effective January 1, 1994, that amount shall be six hundred fifty thousand dollars ($650,000). Effective January 1, 1996, that amount shall be seven hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($725,000), and thereafter, the seven hundred twenty-five thousand dollar ($725,000) amount shall be increased 5 percent on January 1 of each year.

After any amounts reimbursed pursuant to Section 985, the judgment-debtor shall pay 50 percent of the remainder immediately, and the other 50 percent of the remainder shall be paid over a period of time to be determined by the court, not to exceed 10 years or the length of the judgment-creditor’s remaining life expectancy at the time the judgment is entered, whichever is less.

(e) The following provisions apply to all judgments for periodic payment under this section against a public entity:

(1) Payments shall not terminate upon the death of the judgment-creditor.

(2) Interest at the same rate as one-year United States Treasury bills as of January 1, each year shall accrue to the unpaid balance of the judgment, and on each January 1 thereafter throughout the duration of the installment payments the interest shall be adjusted until the judgment is fully satisfied.

(3) Throughout the term of the installment payments until the judgment is fully satisfied, the public entity shall remain liable for all payments due on the judgment and the interest.

(4) The court shall retain jurisdiction in order to enforce, amend, modify, or approve settlement of the installment payments as may be just. Upon a motion by the judgment-creditor, the court shall accelerate the installment payments if it finds any unreasonable delay in, or failure to make payments.

(5) The court, upon motion, may modify the installment payments consistent with Sections 1431 to 1431.5, inclusive, of the Civil Code to account for the insolvency or uncollectability of amounts of the judgment owed by joint tortfeasors. The defendant shall bring a motion for that adjustment under Section 1010 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

Whenever, subsequent to the date on which a conditional apportionment made to a state-aided district becomes final, less than all of such district is included in another district, the Director of General Services shall determine what portion of the apportionment was expended or will be expended for property acquired or to be acquired by the acquiring district. Any determination made by the Director of General Services under this section may be redetermined by him or her, from time to time, until the project for which the apportionment was made has been completed, and the final cost thereof determined and the final determination has been made pursuant to the final cost. The Director of General Services shall promptly notify the Controller, the governing board of the state-aided district and of the acquiring district, the superintendent of schools, the auditor, and the treasurer of the counties having jurisdiction over said districts of each determination and redetermination made by him or her under this section. No redetermination shall be retroactive nor affect the liability of any school district for any payment or annual repayment, or portion thereof, previously made by or on behalf of such district to the state under the provisions of this chapter.

On and after the date of the change of boundaries, the acquiring district succeeds to and is vested with all of the duties, powers, purposes, jurisdiction, and responsibilities of the state-aided district with respect to that portion of the apportionment which the Director of General Services has determined or redetermined under this section was expended, or will be expended, for property acquired or to be acquired by the acquiring district, and the unexpended part of the portion of the apportionment in the public school building fund of the state-aided district shall be transferred to the public school building fund of the acquiring district. In addition, and at the same time, the acquiring district shall become liable for the payment to the state of that portion of the annual repayment and all other payments due the state under the provisions of this chapter with respect to that portion of the apportionment which the Director of General Services has determined or redetermined was expended, or will be expended for property acquired, or to be acquired by the acquiring district, or, in the event a portion of the apportionment is a lower percentage of the apportionment than the percentage that the assessed valuation in the territory of the state-aided district which was transferred to the acquiring district is of the total assessed valuation of the state-aided district immediately preceding the effective date of the transfer, the acquiring district shall become liable for the payment to the state of that percentage of the annual repayment and all other repayments due to the state under provisions of this chapter with respect to the apportionment which is equal to the percentage of assessed valuation in the territory transferred to the acquiring district.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of the acquiring district for the repayment of any portion of the apportionment made to the state-aided district shall not exceed the product of the highest percentage referred to above (whether relating to assessed valuation or to the portion of the apportionment expended in the property acquired), multiplied by the balance due on the apportionment made to the state-aided district at the time of the withdrawal on the effective date specified in Section 4064 of the territory referred to. The limited liability is hereinafter referred to as “the maximum.” It is the intent of the Legislature that the maximum shall be applied by the Controller, both retroactively and prospectively, provided that as a result of the application (1) no cash refund shall be made to any district; (2) in the event any district has, in the past, paid an amount greater than the maximum, assuming this paragraph had been in effect at that time, the excess shall be credited by the Controller against any apportionment balances for which said district is or may hereafter become liable; and (3) the Controller shall make retroactively any adjustments in the amounts due from other districts by virtue of any adjustments made under (2) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any computations required to be made pursuant to this paragraph shall not be reflected in any changes in deductions required to be made pursuant to Section 15735 prior to January 1, 1966.

If any subsection, clause, sentence of phrase of this section is for any reason held to be unconstitutional such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this section. The Legislature hereby declares that it would have adopted this section, and each subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, clauses, sentences or phrases be declared unconstitutional.

(d) This section applies without regard to whether the facility is operated pursuant to a contract with a private contractor and without regard to whether the individual in custody has been charged with or convicted of a crime.

(e) The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation may promulgate regulations necessary to implement this section, including, but not limited to, establishing standards for department-approved items, expanding the items included in religious clothing and headwear, restricting locations, and establishing any additional limitations.

Status: in_force

Whenever, subsequent to the date on which a conditional apportionment becomes final, territory is withdrawn from a state-aided district and no portion of the apportionment was expended for school property acquired by the acquiring district:

(1) If the acquiring district is a state-aided district, the assessed valuation in the territory acquired shall be included in determining assessed valuation of the property in the acquiring district, and shall thereafter be excluded in determining assessed valuation of the property in the state-aided district, for purposes of the computations under Sections 16070 to 16075, inclusive;

(2) If the acquiring district is not a state-aided district, the Controller shall determine the percentage relationship, at the time of the withdrawal, between (a) the assessed valuation in the territory acquired, together with the current assessed valuation in all other territory theretofore acquired by the acquiring district from the state-aided district since the date of its first conditional apportionment under this chapter, and (b) the current assessed valuation of the state-aided district as it was territorially constituted on the latter date.

If the percentage of assessed valuation in acquired territory is, in the aggregate, less than 10 percent, the assessed valuation in all the acquired territory shall be excluded, until the next withdrawal of territory from the state-aided district to the acquiring district, in determining the assessed valuation of the state-aided district for the purposes of the computations under Sections 16070 to 16075, inclusive.

If the percentage of assessed valuation in acquired territory is, in the aggregate, a percentage equal to or greater than 10 percent, the Controller shall, by deducting the percentage from 100 percent, obtain the “complement percentage.” Until the next withdrawal of territory from the state-aided district to the acquiring district, the assessed valuation of the state-aided district for purposes of the computations under Sections 16070 to 16075, inclusive, shall be determined by dividing the current assessed valuation of the state-aided district as territorially constituted immediately subsequent to the last withdrawal, by the complement percentage.

Whenever, pursuant to this section, the assessed valuation of the state-aided district is adjusted for repayment computation purposes by use of the complement percentage, liability for the annual repayment computed shall be apportioned between the state-aided district and the acquiring district by multiplying the annual repayment by the complement percentage, the product representing the liability of the state-aided district, and the remainder of the computed repayment representing the liability of the acquiring district.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of the state-aided district shall not exceed the product of any “complement percentage” (as it may from time to time exist) times the balance due on the aforesaid final apportionment at the time the complement percentage is established; and the liability of the acquiring district (while a complement percentage remains unchanged) shall not exceed the remainder of the balance of the final apportionment at the time complement percentage is established. The maximum liability on the part of either the state-aided or acquiring districts established as above (and until the time that the liability be altered by altering the “complement percentage”) shall be hereinafter referred to in this section with respect to each such district as “the maximum.”

(3) In the event that two or more non-state-aided districts acquire territory from the state-aided district, the Controller shall determine the formulae for apportioning liability for the annual repayment between the districts affected (including the formulae for determining what assessed valuations shall be used within the affected districts or territories withdrawn, and the dates of determination thereof), as will in his or her opinion best comply with the principles set forth above, irrespective of whether the formulae are in literal compliance therewith. The same percentage of annual repayment for which a district is liable at the time the liability apportionment is made shall (unless and until the liability apportionment is subsequently changed pursuant to this paragraph) be deemed applicable to the liability of the district for the balance (as of the date the liability apportionment is made) due on the final apportionment to the state-aided district. The liability for the balance shall, with respect to any affected district, be hereinafter referred to as the “maximum” for the district.

(4) It is the intent of the Legislature that the foregoing “maximums” shall be applied by the Controller both retroactively and prospectively, provided that as a result of the application (1) no cash refund shall be made to any district; (2) in the event any district has, in the past, paid an amount greater than its “maximum,” assuming this paragraph and others to which it is referable had been in effect at that time, the excess shall be credited by the Controller against any apportionment balances for which the district is or may hereafter become liable; and (3) the Controller shall make retroactively any adjustments in the amounts due from any other district by virtue of any adjustments made under (2) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any computations required to be made pursuant to this paragraph shall not be reflected in any changes in deductions required to be made pursuant to Section 16080 prior to January 1, 1966.

If any subdivision, clause, sentence, or phrase of this section is for any reason held to be unconstitutional the decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this section.
