§ 20586 Firefighter Contract Termination

• •If firefighters and their work move to a new district with a county retirement plan, their old contract can be canceled after 5 years.
• •The old contract stays for other workers, just not the firefighters.
• •This only happens if the firefighters join a new district with a county retirement system.

A small town's firefighters switch to working for the county instead of the town.

After 5 years, the town can end the old contract for those firefighters because they now work for the county and use the county's retirement plan. But the town's other workers, like office staff, keep their old contract.
