A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the computation of retirement benefits by a public

SECTION 1. Chapter 802, Government Code, is amended by
adding Subchapter E to read as follows:
SUBCHAPTER E. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL PUBLIC RETIREMENT
SYSTEMS
Sec. 802.402. RESUMPTION OF SERVICE AFTER RETIREMENT. (a)
This section applies to a person who:
(1) has retired from service with an employer through
which the person receives benefits from a public retirement system
covered by this title other than one established under Section
810.001; and
(2) becomes reemployed by an employer through which an
employee may, or must as a condition of employment, enroll in a
public retirement system covered by this title other than one
established under Section 810.001.
(b) On the date of reemployment of a person described by
Subsection (a), the person must resume making contributions to the
applicable retirement system. A person who resumes making
contributions as required by this subsection earns additional
service credit.
(c) This section prevails over any other law relating to the
computation of a retirement benefit by a public retirement system
to the extent of any conflict.
SECTION 2. Section 802.402, Government Code, as added by
this Act, applies only to the computation of retirement benefits
for a member of a public retirement system who retires on or after
the effective date of this Act. The computation of retirement
benefits for a member of a public retirement system who retires
before the effective date of this Act is subject to the law in
effect on the date of the retirement, and that law is continued in
effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2011.
