2021 California Code|Education Code - EDC|TITLE 1 - GENERAL EDUCATION CODE PROVISIONS|DIVISION 1 - GENERAL EDUCATION CODE PROVISIONS|PART 13 - STATE TEACHERS' RETIREMENT SYSTEM|CHAPTER 1 - General Provisions|Section 22001.

22001.  In order to provide a financially sound plan for the retirement, with adequate retirement allowances, of teachers in the public schools of this state, teachers in schools supported by this state, and other persons employed in connection with the schools, the State Teachers’ Retirement System is established. The system is a unit of the Government Operations Agency.(Amended by Stats. 2013, Ch. 352, Sec. 68. (AB 1317) Effective September 26, 2013. Operative July 1, 2013, by Sec. 543 of Ch. 352.)

2021 California Code|Education Code - EDC|TITLE 1 - GENERAL EDUCATION CODE PROVISIONS|DIVISION 1 - GENERAL EDUCATION CODE PROVISIONS|PART 13 - STATE TEACHERS' RETIREMENT SYSTEM|CHAPTER 1 - General Provisions|Section 22001.5.

22001.5.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares that on July 1, 1996, the State Teachers’ Retirement System Cash Balance Plan was created and established to provide a retirement plan for persons employed by an employer offering the Cash Balance Plan, excluding community college districts, to perform creditable service for less than 50 percent of the full-time equivalent for the position or employed by a community college district offering the Cash Balance Plan to perform creditable service on a temporary basis pursuant to Section 87474, 87478, 87480, 87481, 87482, or 87482.5, or employed by an employer offering the Cash Balance Plan to perform creditable service as a substitute employee. The persons eligible for the Cash Balance Plan were excluded from mandatory membership in the State Teachers’ Retirement System Defined Benefit Plan. Both plans are administered by the Teachers’ Retirement Board. Prior to the creation and establishment of the Cash Balance Plan, the State Teachers’ Retirement System Defined Benefit Plan had been identified simply as the State Teachers’ Retirement System. As a result, the system was identified as both the administrative body and the retirement plan. The State Teachers’ Retirement Law was amended to identify the retirement plan as the State Teachers’ Retirement System Defined Benefit Plan in order to distinguish that plan from the Cash Balance Plan. Because both plans were intended to provide for the retirement of teachers and other persons employed in connection with public schools of this state and schools supported by this state, a merger of these two plans is now hereby made for the purpose of establishing a single retirement plan that shall be known and may be cited as the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan consisting of the different benefit programs set forth in this part and Part 14 (commencing with Section 26000). This plan shall be administered by the Teachers’ Retirement Board as set forth in this part and Part 14 (commencing with Section 26000). This part, together with Part 14 (commencing with Section 26000) shall be known and may be cited as the Teachers’ Retirement Law.(Amended by Stats. 2015, Ch. 123, Sec. 1. (AB 991) Effective January 1, 2016.)

22002.  The Legislature recognizes that the assets of the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan with respect to the Defined Benefit Program are insufficient to meet the obligations of that program already accrued or to accrue in the future with respect to service credited to members of that program prior to July 1, 1972. Therefore, the Legislature declares the following policies with respect to the financing of the Defined Benefit Program of the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan:(a) Members shall contribute a percentage of creditable compensation, unless otherwise specified in this part.(b) Employers shall contribute a percentage of the total creditable compensation on which member contributions are based.(c) The state shall contribute a sum certain for a given number of years for the purpose of payment of benefits under this part.(Amended by Stats. 1998, Ch. 965, Sec. 1.
