CSHB 2100 provides that the department may pay Trooper Trainees, Probationary Troopers, and entry- level Troopers with the Department of Public Safety of the State of Texas up to 15% over the maximum rate designated in Salary Schedule C.  According to the Employees Retirement System, CSHB 2100 will cause no measurable impact on the ERS retirement plans. Employees in the affected positions would either leave or be promoted to higher level positions before they could retire. So the bill would have a small positive actuarial impact on the fund since contributions would be increased without increasing retirement benefits.
