Senate Bill 1519 amends the Government Code to entitle a judge or justice who is paid by the state, is a member of the Judicial Retirement System of Texas Plan One or the Judicial Retirement System of Texas Plan Two, and is an active judge to longevity pay of $20 for each year of service credited in the applicable retirement system, up to a maximum of 16 years of creditable service. The bill also clarifies that, for provisions relating to the computation of member contributions and benefits for judicial retirement purposes, "state salary" does not include the amount of any longevity pay payable to these judges and justices.
