CA AB2417

Requires community college districts to provide part-time temporary faculty with the option to choose between the State Teachers' Retirement System (STRS) Defined Benefit Program, the Cash Balance Benefit Program (if offered), or Social Security coverage

Directs the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to develop informational materials in coordination with STRS and CalPERS explaining the differences between these retirement options

Informational materials must include details on contribution differences, vesting time requirements for each retirement option, and the impact of earning Social Security credits

Does not prevent community college districts from offering additional alternative retirement options beyond the three specified programs

State reimbursement to local agencies and school districts would be required if the Commission on State Mandates determines the bill creates state-mandated costs
