The City Attorney is transmitting a draft ordinance that would implement Measure FF, which Los Angeles voters approved in November 2024. The ordinance would allow certain sworn peace officers currently in the Los Angeles City Employees' Retirement System (LACERS) to transfer their membership and service credit to Tier 6 of the Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension Plan (LAFPP). Eligible employees from the Police Department, Harbor Department, Department of Airports, and Department of Recreation and Parks would make a one-time, irrevocable election to transfer or remain in LACERS by January 9, 2026, with the transfer effective January 11, 2026.
