HOUSE AUTHOR: McCall et al. |

EFFECTIVE: 9-1-01 |
SENATE SPONSOR: Zaffirini |
House Bill 1747 amends the Texas Local Fire Fighters Retirement Act to continue the office of fire fighters' pension commissioner until September 1, 2011, to increase the terms of the fire fighters' pension commissioner from two to four years, and to implement standard sunset provisions that are applied to all agencies. The bill also amends the Texas Statewide Emergency Services Retirement Act to require that one of the six trustees on the state board of trustees of the Texas statewide emergency services personnel retirement fund be a representative of emergency services personnel.
The change in the term of the fire fighters' pension commissioner is contingent on voter approval of the proposed constitutional amendment providing for a four-year term and takes effect when the amendment is approved.
