SECTION 1. Section 825.405, Government Code, is amended by | ||
adding Subsection (a-1) and amending Subsections (b), (e), and (f) | ||
to read as follows: | ||
(a-1) For members who are employed by an open-enrollment | ||
charter school and who would be entitled to a minimum salary under | ||
Section 21.402, Education Code, if employed by a school district, | ||
the charter school shall pay the state's contribution on the | ||
portion of the member's salary that exceeds the applicable | ||
statutory minimum salary under that section. | ||
(b) For purposes of Subsection (a) [ |
||
(1) the statutory minimum salary for certain school | ||
personnel under Section 21.402, Education Code, is the salary | ||
provided by that section multiplied by the cost of education | ||
adjustment applicable under Section 42.102, Education Code, to the | ||
district in which the member is employed; and | ||
(2) the statutory minimum salary for members who would | ||
have been entitled to the minimum salary for certain school | ||
personnel under former Section 16.056, Education Code, as that | ||
section existed on January 1, 1995, is a minimum salary computed in | ||
the same manner as the minimum salary for certain school personnel | ||
under Section 21.402, Education Code, multiplied by the cost of | ||
education adjustment applicable under Section 42.102, Education | ||
Code, to the district in which the member is employed. | ||
(e) After the end of each school year, the retirement system | ||
shall certify to the commissioner of education: | ||

825.408, all contributions required under this section for the | ||
school year; and | ||
(2) the amounts of the unpaid contributions. | ||
(f) If the commissioner of education receives a | ||
certification under Subsection (e), the commissioner shall direct | ||
the comptroller of public accounts to withhold the amount | ||
certified, plus interest computed at the rate and in the manner | ||
provided by Section 825.408, from the first state money payable to | ||
the employer [ |
||
deposited to the credit of the appropriate accounts of the | ||
retirement system. | ||
SECTION 2. This Act applies beginning with the 2019-2020 | ||
school year. | ||
