TITLE 34. PUBLIC FINANCE

Part 5. TEXAS COUNTY AND DISTRICT RETIREMENT SYSTEM

Chapter 105. CREDITABLE SERVICE

34 TAC §105.3

The Texas County and District Retirement System adopts an amendment to §105.3, concerning the granting of credited service in the system for qualified military service of the member for other than qualified military service under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (the USERRA) (38 U.S.C. §4301 et seq.) granted under §105.4. This amended rule is adopted without changes to the proposed text as published in the February 1, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 922).

The adopted amendment deletes the limitation on the accumulation of credited service under this section on a combined basis with qualified military service credited under the USERRA. The adopted rule clarifies that the categories of qualified military eligible for crediting are separate and that each category is subject to a 60 month maximum independent of the other.

No comments were received regarding the adoption of the amendment.

The amendment is adopted under the Government Code, §843.502(b), which authorizes the board of trustees of the Texas County and District Retirement System to adopt rules that modify the terms of Government Code, §843.502, for the purpose of compliance with the USERRA.

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 March 28, 2008.
