DIGEST AND PURPOSE 

Under current law, permanently disabled retirees who are incapable of
working must submit an annual earnings report (report) to the Teacher
Retirement System of Texas (TRS) to inform the agency that they are still
unemployable.  The report has to be notarized and mailed to TRS every year
even when a retiree's disability is immutable, which may cause an excess
burden for the retiree and the retiree's care giver.  H.B. 927 repeals the
annual earnings report requirement for all disability retirees of TRS who
are less than 60 years old.   

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a
