relating to the allocation of certain funds designated for transfer | ||
to the retired school employees group insurance fund. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Sections 316.093(b) and (c), Government Code, | ||
are amended to read as follows: | ||
(b) If the sum described by Subsection (a) is less than the | ||
sufficient balance adopted under Section 316.092, the comptroller | ||
shall allocate any funds designated for transfer to the retired | ||
school employees group insurance fund under Section 49-g(c-3), | ||
Article III, Texas Constitution, to the economic stabilization | ||
fund, reduce the allocation to the state highway fund provided by | ||
Section 49-g(c), Article III, Texas Constitution, and increase the | ||
allocation to the economic stabilization fund, in an equal amount, | ||
until the sufficient balance adopted under Section 316.092 is | ||
achieved. | ||
(c) If under Section 316.092 a sufficient balance has not | ||
been adopted for the comptroller to consider under this section, | ||
the comptroller shall adjust the allocation of amounts to be | ||
transferred to the economic stabilization fund, [ |
||
highway fund, and the retired school employees group insurance | ||
fund, if applicable, provided by Section 49-g(c), Article III, | ||
Texas Constitution, so that the total of those amounts is | ||
transferred to the economic stabilization fund, except that the | ||
comptroller shall reduce a transfer made under this subsection as | ||
necessary to prevent the amount in the fund from exceeding the limit | ||
in effect for that biennium under Section 49-g(g) of that article. | ||
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect January 1, 2018, but only | ||
if the constitutional amendment proposed by the 85th Legislature, | ||
1st Called Session, 2017, to allocate certain surplus state revenue | ||
to the retired school employees group insurance fund is approved by | ||
the voters. If that constitutional amendment is not approved by the | ||
voters, this Act has no effect. |
