Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) Except as provided by Subsections (b) and (e), on the first day of each fiscal year, the retirement system shall increase the amounts of annuities that are:
(1) computed as provided by Section 814.105 or a predecessor to that section, Section 814.1051, Section 814.206 or a predecessor to that section, or if the standard annuity is derived from Section 814.105 or a predecessor, as provided by Section 814.108 or a predecessor to that section;
(2) based on service that was credited in the retirement system as employee class service; and
(3) payable to a retiree of the retirement system, to the survivor of a retiree of the retirement system, or to the survivor of a deceased member of the retirement system.
(b) The retirement system may not increase under this section the amount of an annuity unless the retirement or death on which the annuity is based occurred before the first day of the preceding fiscal year.
(c) The legislature may appropriate money from the general revenue fund to pay the costs of increasing the amounts of annuities under this section. On the first day of each fiscal year, the state comptroller of public accounts shall transfer to the retirement system any money appropriated for the fiscal year for the purpose of this section.
(d) If the amount of money appropriated for a fiscal year is insufficient to finance the rate of increase in annuities specified in the Act making the appropriation or if the Act fails to specify a rate of increase, the board of trustees shall set the rate as the rate that the amount of money appropriated will finance for the duration of the annuities payable to those persons entitled to receive an increase in annuities under this section.
(e) If an appropriation is not made for a fiscal year for the purpose of this section, the retirement system may not increase under this section the amount of annuities for that year.
