Contract vs. Resolution
The CaIPERS Health Program is governed by the Public Employees Medical and Hospital Care Act
(PEMHCA), and the California Code of Regulations (CCR), of the California Public Employees Retirement
Law (PERL). PEMHCA contains all the rules and regulations that a contracting agency must adhere to. We
define PEMHCA as the actual health contract, and the resolution as the method by which an agency
elects to become subject to PEMHCA.
