Relating to eligibility for custodial officer service in the Employees Retirement System of Texas by certain juvenile correctional officers and caseworkers employed by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department.

SB 1115 amends Texas law to allow juvenile correctional officers and caseworkers employed by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) to count their service toward retirement benefits under the Employees Retirement System of Texas. The bill specifically adds these roles to the definition of "custodial officer" and requires that service must be performed in these exact positions to qualify for retirement credit. This change ensures TJJD employees in these jobs will now have their service time counted for retirement purposes, aligning them with other custodial officers like parole officers. The bill does not alter retirement benefit amounts but expands eligibility for service credit.
