Bill	San Diego Unified Port District: public employee pension benefits.	The California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) generally requires a public retirement system, as defined, to modify its pension plan or plans to comply with the act and, among other things, requires a public employer that offers a defined benefit pension plan to provide specified retirement formulas for new members, as defined. PEPRA permits a public employer to adopt a new defined benefit formula, on or after January 1, 2013, that is not consistent with PEPRA, if that formula is determined and certified by the chief actuary and the board of that employer's retirement system to not have a greater risk or greater cost to the sponsoring employer than the defined benefit formula required by PEPRA and the plan is approved by the Legislature.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20232024	SB 962	California SB 962 (20232024)	bill	San Diego Unified Port District public employee pension benefits	enacted	Padilla	6	19	4	2024-01-23	2024-07-15	openstates	ocd-bill/a37c6c9f-8572-44ec-81cc-f85a0eefccf1	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB962	d1f95bf3917d005c6044f3477f91df27e439c6eb25772539fd884db9d746b13d	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
