Texas Administrative Code
. The restored paragraphs
specify the types of service credit that service retirees who retired before
September 1, 2004 can use to qualify for enrollment eligibility in TRS-Care.
In December 2005, the Board adopted substantive amendments to §41.10
that became effective February 9, 2006. Those earlier adopted amendments did
not change subsection (b) of §41.10 or any of the inadvertently omitted
paragraphs under that subsection. As reflected in the Board's December 2005
order adopting the earlier amendments, the Board did not intend to delete
the paragraphs now ministerially restored for publication of the correct rule
in the
Texas Administrative Code
.
TRS received no public comments regarding the proposed amendments.
Statutory Authority: §1575.052, Insurance Code, which authorizes
the Board to adopt rules it considers necessary to implement and administer
the TRS-Care program.
Cross-reference to Statute: Chapter 1575, Insurance Code, which provides
for the establishment and administration of the retirees' health benefits
program (TRS-Care) and §38 of SB 1691, which amends §1575.004, Insurance
Code, relating to the definition of a retiree.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
