CA SB1379

Creates an exception to the 960-hour annual employment limit for retired persons appointed by the Solano County Sheriff's Office to work as deputy sheriffs, evidence technicians, or communications operators.

Requires the Solano County Board of Supervisors to certify by resolution that appointments meet specific conditions, including background investigation clearance, non-decertification status, and six months of failed recruitment of active members for the same position.

Limits compensation to the average rate of pay for the position class among active members, or the retired person's last rate of pay (whichever is higher), with a $200 monthly fee paid to the retirement system.

Caps the maximum aggregate number of appointments under this provision at 20 total appointments.

Automatically repeals these provisions on January 1, 2027, and takes effect immediately as an urgency statute due to critical understaffing in the Solano County Sheriff's Office.
