	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to the effective date of retirement for certain members of
	the Teacher Retirement System of Texas.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 824.002(a), Government Code, is amended
	to read as follows:
	(a) The effective date of a member's service retirement is
	the last day of the later of the following months:
	(1) any month in a three-month period in which the
	third month is the month in which the member applies for retirement
	as provided by Section 824.201;
	(2) the month in which the member satisfies age and
	service requirements for service retirement as provided by Section
	824.202; [or]
	(3) the month in which the member's employment in a
	position included in the coverage of the retirement system ends; or
	(4) if the member applying for retirement is a
	classroom teacher, the month in which the school year ends for a
	school year in which the member applies for retirement as provided
	by Section 824.201.
	(5) subsection (4) does not apply to a classroom
	teacher applying for retirement that:
	(A) is unable to continue employment due to
	health reason; or
	(B) has a mutually agreed upon release from
	duties from a school district.
	SECTION 2. As soon as practicable after the effective date
	of this Act, the Teacher Retirement System of Texas shall adopt
	rules as necessary to implement Section 824.002, Government Code,
	as amended by this Act.
	SECTION 3. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to
	an application for retirement submitted under Chapter 824,
	Government Code, on or after the effective date of this Act. An
	application for retirement submitted before the effective date of
	this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the
	application was submitted, and the former law is continued in
	effect for that purpose.
	SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
