 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 AN ACT
 relating to the cash balance annuity for members of the legislature
 and the lieutenant governor.
 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 SECTION 1.  Section 820.053(a), Government Code, is amended
 to read as follows:
 (a)  The state match for the cash balance benefit for:
 (1)  service credited to the employee or elected class
 of membership is an amount computed by multiplying the member's
 accumulated account balance by 150 percent; and
 (2)  service credited to the employee class of
 membership by a member eligible to retire under this chapter as a
 law enforcement or custodial officer is an amount computed by
 multiplying the member's accumulated account balance by:
 (A)  except as provided by Paragraph (B), 150
 percent; and
 (B)  for the portion of the accumulated account
 balance based on the member's additional two percent contribution
 under Section 820.101(b), including interest, attributable to
 service as a law enforcement or custodial officer, 300 percent,
 paid from the law enforcement and custodial officer supplemental
 retirement fund[; and
 [(3) subject to Subsection (c), service credited to the
 elected class of membership is an amount computed by multiplying
 the member's accumulated account balance by 150 percent].
 SECTION 2.  Section 820.053(c), Government Code, is
 repealed.
 SECTION 3.  Section 820.053, Government Code, as amended by
 this Act, applies only to the cash balance annuity of a member of
 the elected class who is first eligible to become a member of the
 elected class on or after September 1, 2024. The cash balance
 annuity of a member of the elected class who is first eligible to
 become a member of the elected class before September 1, 2024, is
 governed by the law as it existed immediately before that date, and
 that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
 SECTION 4.  This Act takes effect on the date on which the
 constitutional amendment proposed by the 88th Legislature, Regular
 Session, 2023, setting the salaries of members of the legislature
 and the lieutenant governor based on the average public school
 teacher salary in this state is approved by the voters. If that
 amendment is not approved by the voters, this Act has no effect.
