Relating to salary deductions for certain benefits approved by the Teacher Retirement System of Texas for certain public educational entity employees.

HB 5429 would allow public school employees in Texas who are members of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) to authorize payroll deductions for certain benefits approved by TRS. The bill requires TRS to designate which benefits qualify, focusing on those that support both state interests and employee welfare. It applies specifically to school districts, open-enrollment charter schools, and regional education service centers. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation.
