Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


This Bill provides that an application for disability retirement under TRS must include a statement of disability from the member’s own physician. The bill does not change the benefits that may become payable to the member. It is intended to match current administrative procedures being followed by the CPRB in the administration of TRS disability benefits. The bill could result in a reduction in future litigation costs.
