House Bill 2400 amends provisions of the Government Code relating to the Texas Emergency Services Retirement System (TESRS), including changes in its disability retirement annuities, temporary disability benefits, and death benefits. The bill modifies the requirements for a member certified as permanently disabled to receive a continuing annuity as a disability benefit and adds criteria for terminating such an annuity. In addition, the bill authorizes the TESRS state board of trustees to permit a participating department to make supplemental payments or provide annuity increases and provides immunity from liability for good-faith acts or omissions by a TESRS board member, commissioner, or employee.
