BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 839.102, Government Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (b-1) to read as follows:
(b-1) If a member who is otherwise eligible to retire under

the member's judicial office under Section 1-a(1), Article V, Texas
Constitution, the applicable state salary under Subsection (a) or
(c) includes any increase in the state salary authorized by
legislation that takes effect on or before the one year anniversary
of the member's effective date of retirement. The retirement
system shall recompute the annuity of a person subject to this
subsection and the recomputed annuity becomes payable beginning
with the first annuity payable on or after the date the increase in
the applicable state salary takes effect.
SECTION 2. Section 839.102(b-1), Government Code, as added
by this Act, applies only to a benefit payment made by the Judicial
Retirement System of Texas Plan Two on or after the effective date
of this Act.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
