HB 2120 by Representative Doug Miller creates an “open seat” on the TRS Board allowing any TRS member to run for this position (currently the position is limited to a higher education representative).
HB 3542 by Representative Larry Gonzales authorizes TRS to make a supplemental payment to retirees if the fund’s investment earnings exceed 8 percent and if the fund is a minimum 80 percent funded before and after the payment is made.
HB 3747 by Representative Ruth Jones McClendon allows for the direct election of TRS member representatives on the TRS Board of Trustees.
TRTA supports all of these bills and we need your help to get them moving in the Senate. Time is short; please email your Senator today by clicking the link below.
