The judge shall report the compensation earned during each month to the board by the eighth day of the following month.(d) If a judge who is retired for disability engages in the practice of law or other gainful occupation that requires the discharge of duties substantially similar to those duties that he or she was found, pursuant to Section 75060, to be unable to discharge efficiently because of his or her mental or physical disability, the retirement allowance otherwise payable to him or her shall cease permanently.(e) Persons affected by this section shall report all compensation earned in a form and manner required by the Board of Administration of the Public Employees’ Retirement System under penalty of perjury.
