Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill provides that if a district attorney separates from that position and within five years is appointed to an assistant district attorney position, the person must receive credit for his or her years of service as a district attorney and any years of service as an assistant district attorney, if applicable, for purposes of calculating his or her new base pay as an assistant district attorney. Currently, under the state compensation plan, with exceptions, the person would be appointed at the minimum of the pay range for assistant district attorneys, regardless of his or her years of prior service.
