Cal. Pub. Util. Code § 98164 — Labor Provisions is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

Whenever any district acquires existing facilities from a publicly or privately owned public utility, either in proceedings in eminent domain or otherwise, that has a pension plan in operation, members and beneficiaries of such pension plan shall continue to have the rights, privileges, benefits, obligations and status with respect to such established system.

Whenever any such facilities are acquired by the district, the board shall consider and take into account the outstanding obligations and liabilities of the publicly or privately owned public utility by reason of such pension plan and shall negotiate an allowance in the purchase price of such utility for the assumption of such obligations and liabilities when acquiring the facilities.

The persons entitled to pension benefits as provided for in Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 98180) of this part and the benefits which are provided shall be specified in the agreement or order by which any public utility is acquired by the district.
