31664.15. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, a
safety member who enters the system with credit for prior service and
retires upon completion of 20 years of continuous service and a
total of 25 years of service after attaining age 50 whose retirement
allowance is less than one-half of his or her final compensation, his

the first day of the month after the board of supervisors of the
county adopts, by majority vote, a resolution providing that this

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the
current service pension or the current service pension combined with
the prior service pension is an additional pension for safety members
purchased by the contributions of the county or district sufficient

the member's final compensation set forth opposite his or her age at
retirement, taken to the preceding completed quarter year, in the
following table, multiplied by the number of years of current service
or years of current and prior service with which the member is
entitled to be credited at retirement. In no event shall the total

(c) Contributions shall not be made by safety members having
credit for 30 years of continuous service.
31664.3. This section shall apply in any county having a population
in excess of 2,000,000. A safety member shall receive no credit for
prior service subsequent to June 30, 1921, and prior to January 1,
1938, in calculating a retirement allowance pursuant to this article
unless prior to January 1, 1952, he files with the board his written
election to pay into the retirement fund six dollars ($6) for each
month of prior service for which he claims credit. If a safety member
files an election pursuant to this section and has accumulated
contributions to his credit as of December 31, 1937, which with
interest to December 31, 1951, are less than payments due for prior
service credit subsequent to June 30, 1921, the amount due or balance
thereof shall be paid by additional salary deductions in the amounts
specified by the member but in no case less than six dollars ($6)
per month. The total amount due shall be paid prior to the effective
date of his retirement. If the accumulated contributions with
interest exceed the amount due for prior service credit the balance
shall be refunded.
31664.4. Any person who elects to become a safety member who was a
former member of a retirement system established pursuant to Chapter
3 or Chapter 5 shall have his contributions to the retirement
association for membership service prior to January 1, 1952,
calculated by the same rates and under the same conditions as those
applicable to a member of the retirement system established pursuant
to Chapter 4.
31664.5. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, a
safety member may exercise the option of retiring upon completion of
25 years of service, and if such option is exercised, the safety
member shall receive a retirement allowance equal to no less than 30
percent of his final compensation.
31664.65. If a member retires with credit for time during which he
or she was not a safety member or a member of a system established
pursuant to either Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 31900) or
Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 32200), he or she shall receive
for that time:
(a) A retirement allowance calculated pursuant to Section 31664
for time during which he or she was employed principally in active
law enforcement or active fire suppression as described in Section
31470.2 or Section 31470.4 by a county, or by a district or court
organized or existing within such county, or was a member of a system
established pursuant to either Chapter 4 (commencing with Section
31900) or Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 32200), plus a
retirement allowance calculated under either subdivision (b) or (c),
whichever is applicable.
(b) A retirement allowance calculated pursuant to Section 31664
for all prior county service with such county, and for any public
service credit for which the member has elected to receive pursuant
to Section 31641.1 or 31641.5.
This subdivision shall apply only to a member who, when the board
of supervisors pursuant to Section 31695.1 provides that provisions
of this chapter relating to safety members shall apply to all
employees of the county whose principal duties consist of active law
enforcement or active fire suppression as defined in Section 31470.2
or 31470.4, was employed by the county principally in active law
enforcement or active fire suppression as defined by such sections
and who elected to be included within such safety member provisions
at the time and in the manner prescribed by Section 31695.2.
(c) A retirement allowance calculated pursuant to Article 8
(commencing with Section 31670) for time during which he or she was
not engaged principally in active law enforcement or active fire
suppression as described in Section 31470.2 or 31470.4, nor a member
of a system established pursuant to either Chapter 4 (commencing with
Section 31900) or Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 32200).
This subdivision shall apply to any member to whom subdivision (b)
is not applicable.
The provisions of this section shall be applicable irrespective of
whether a member is, at the time of retirement, a safety member or a
general member.
