CA Gov't Code Section 31655

Any member may receive credit for war relocation absence if the member elects to pay and does pay prior to retirement into the retirement fund an amount equal to the contributions the member would have made to the fund on the member’s compensation earnable at the time of the absence together with regular interest thereon. “War relocation absence” means the period of absence from county service occasioned by the evacuation and relocation of a member pursuant to orders issued by the commanding officer of the Western Defense Command in March 1942, for the evacuation of persons of Japanese descent from such area, where the member was in county service on March 5, 1942, and later returned to county service prior to July 1, 1947. This section shall not be operative in any county until adopted by resolution of the board of supervisors.
