STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30843 / S1283
This legislation amends the definition of “employee” for the purposes of PERSI enrollment to exclude seasonal
employees of soil and water conservation districts in positions that do not exceed eight consecutive months
in a calendar year if the employer certifies in writing that the position is seasonal or casual and is affected by
weather. This definition already applies to seasonal golf course, park, or other positions in cities, counties,
irrigation districts, cemetery districts, and mosquito abatement districts.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation has no fiscal impact on the general fund. This legislation will result in a significant cost savings
to soil and water conservation districts.
