SRC-MKV H.B. 927 77(R) BILL ANALYSIS Senate Research Center H.B. 927 By: Hill (To Be Filled) Education 5/11/2001 Engrossed 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 state officer, institution, or agency. SECTION BY SECTION ANALYSIS SECTION 1. Repealer: Section 824.306, Government Code. SECTION 2. Effective date: upon passage or September 1, 2001.
