FISCAL NOTE, 89TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION


March 18, 2025

TO:	Honorable Joan Huffman, Chair, Senate Committee on Finance

FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board

IN RE:	SB1738 by Huffman (Relating to the resumption of service by certain judicial officers under the Judicial Retirement System of Texas Plan Two.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code to require a member of Judicial Retirement System Plan 2 (JRS 2) who retires and then resumes service after the effective date of the legislation to resume the membership contributions that are set in statute.

If the retiree completes at least 24 months of resumed service, the retirement system would recompute the retiree's annuity based on the additional service credit and the highest salary earned. If the retiree completes less than 24 months of resumed service, the retirement system would resume the suspended annuity payments and refund the contributions made during the person's period of resumed service.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
