A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-1 AN ACT
1-2 relating to eligibility for service retirement under the Texas
1-3 County and District Retirement System.
1-4 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-5 SECTION 1. Section 844.207(c), Government Code, is amended
1-6 to read as follows:
1-7 (c) A member shall be eligible, beginning on the first
1-8 anniversary date of the person's membership, to retire and receive
1-9 a service retirement annuity, if the member:
1-10 (1) is at least 60 years old and has at least 10 years
1-11 of Section 844.207 credited service in the retirement system; or
1-12 (2) has sufficient years of Section 844.207 credited
1-13 service in the retirement system that, when such number is added to
1-14 the years of attained age of the member, produces a sum equal to or
1-15 in excess of the number 75 <80>; or
1-16 (3) <if the member> is eligible for service retirement
1-17 under any other provision of this subtitle.
1-18 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-19 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-20 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-21 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-22 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-23 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-24 passage, and it is so enacted.
