A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the state salary for retired judges.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. In the event the 86th Legislature enacts
legislation increasing the state salary of district or appellate
judges or justices or authorizes a state salary increase for
district or appellate judges or justices in the General
Appropriations Act, on the effective date of the salary increase,
the Employees Retirement System of Texas shall recompute the
annuities of persons who retired before the effective date of the
salary increase under Sections 839.102 or 839.103, Government Code,
as if the retiree's salary on the date of retirement was that of a
judge or justice who has eight years and 1 day of service and is of
the same classification as the last court to which the retiree was
elected or appointed. On the effective date of a state salary
increase described by this Act, the retirement system shall also
recompute the annuities of beneficiaries receiving an annuity that
became payable before that date under Sections 839.301 or 839.302,
Government Code, in the same manner.
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
