SB 2318 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the administration of a retirement health care plan for firefighters and police officers in certain municipalities.

This bill amends Texas law governing retirement health care plans for firefighters and police officers in certain municipalities. It clarifies definitions (like "months of service" and "beneficiary"), adds exemptions protecting retirees' health benefits from garnishment or seizure, and specifies the governance structure for the fund's board of trustees. The board must include elected firefighter and police officer members, retiree representatives, and municipal officials, ensuring the fund operates independently from local government control. These changes update administrative rules but do not create new benefits or funding.
