TITLE 34.PUBLIC FINANCE

Part 3. TEACHER RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF TEXAS

Chapter 41. HEALTH CARE AND INSURANCE PROGRAMS

Subchapter E. ACTIVE EMPLOYEES HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ARRANGEMENTS

34 TAC §§41.101 - 41.104

The Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) adopts the repeal of Subchapter E, Chapter 41, §§41.101 - 41.104 without changes to the proposed repeal published in the November 12, 2004, issue of the Texas Register (29 TexReg 10464). These sections relate to Active Employees Health Reimbursement Arrangements. The sections are being repealed because they are no longer needed as a result of the discontinuation of TRS's health reimbursement arrangement (TRS-HRAccount) program.

No comments were received regarding the repeal.

The repeal of these sections is adopted under Government Code, Chapter 825, §825.102, which authorizes the Board of Trustees of the Teacher Retirement System to adopt rules for, among other things, the transaction of business of the board. The repeal is also adopted under article 3.50-8, section 4, Insurance Code, which authorizes TRS, as trustee, to adopt rules to implement the article.

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.

Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on January 21, 2005.
