After months of crafting their final budget recommendation, the House Appropriations Committee did NOT recommend any restoration to cuts imposed on TRS-Care or the TRS pension trust fund. This week, the House of Representatives will debate the budget proposal and have an opportunity to amend it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specifically, the House will have a chance to vote on an amendment filed by Representative Garnet Coleman (D-147). His amendment restores funding to the TRS-Care program to the full 1 percent level! The Texas House will have a chance to vote in favor of protecting your TRS health insurance program and help keep your premiums from increasing as much as 80 percent!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.votervoice.net\/groups\/trta\/advocacy\/?issueid=24496\">All TRTA members and anyone interested in preserving an affordable premium structure for TRS-Care participants can click this link to send an email to their legislators asking for their support on this important amendment.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition, TRTA encourages you to call your legislators using our toll-free Contact Your Legislator Hotline (1.888.674.3788).
