Relating to the payment of certain employer contributions for retirees of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas who resume service.

HB 2130 modifies how Texas public school employers handle retirement contributions when teachers who retired from the Teacher Retirement System return to work. It clarifies that employers must pay certain contributions for these returning retirees (excluding those who retired before September 1, 2005), and explicitly prohibits employers from passing these costs to retirees through payroll deductions or fees. The bill also adjusts late payment penalties for employers, including interest rates and capped late fees. These changes apply starting the 2025-2026 school year.
