Relating to certain employer contributions to the Teacher Retirement System of Texas.

HB 3221 adjusts school district contributions to the Teacher Retirement System of Texas for teachers who qualify for minimum salary under specific education code provisions. It requires districts to pay a monthly contribution equal to a percentage of the statutory minimum salary, with rates changing over time: 1.5% for 2014-2015, then gradually decreasing based on state contribution rate changes until 2019, and continuing with a rate tied to annual state contributions. The bill directly affects school districts and teachers meeting the minimum salary criteria, modifying their retirement funding structure. It applies beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, taking effect September 1, 2025, unless approved for immediate effect with a two-thirds vote.
