# California AB 1380 (20132014) — County employees' retirement.

The California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) requires a public retirement system, as defined, to modify its pension plan or plans to comply with the act and, among other provisions, generally prohibits a public employer that offers a defined benefit plan from offering new employees defined benefit retirement formulas other than those established by the act, which, in comparison to existing formulas, generally provide reduced benefits and later ages for retirement. PEPRA prohibits the purchase of nonqualified service credit, as defined, unless the application to purchase the credit is received by the retirement system prior to January 1, 2013, and subsequently approved. PEPRA prohibits an employer from paying a new member's contribution for the normal cost of benefits in a defined plan and prohibits an enhancement of a public employee's retirement benefit adopted on or after January 1, 2013, from applying to service previously performed.
