• Texas Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes Article 2702-A. COUNTY-WIDE EQUALIZATION DISTRICTS IN COUNTIES OF 24,000 TO 25,000 HAVING VALUATION OF $27,500,000. Taxing power Section 1. All counties in this state having a population of not more than twenty-five thousand (25,000), nor less than twenty-four thousand (24,000), according to the last preceding Federal Census, and containing a valuation of Twenty-seven Million Five Hundred Thousand ($27,500,000.00) Dollars or more, are hereby created into county-wide equalization school districts, and each such county shall have the county unit system of education to the extent specified in this Act and may exercise the taxing power conferred on school districts by Article 7, Section 3 of the Constitution to the extent hereinafter provided; but such taxing power shall not be exercised until and unless authorized by a majority of the qualified property tax-paying voters residing therein at an election to be held for that purpose as hereinafter provided. Management; rate of equalization tax Sec. 2. The general management, supervision, and control of the public schools and of the educational interests of such counties shall be vested in the County Board of School Trustees, except as otherwise provided by law, and said Board shall perform such duties as are or may be required of it by existing law and by the provisions of this Act and shall constitute the Board of Trustees for such county-wide equalization district. Any such county-wide school equalization district may levy and collect annually on all taxable property in the county an equalization tax not to exceed Twenty-five (25) Cents on the One Hundred ($100.00) Dollars valuation of property situated in said county, and the money derived from said tax shall be known as an equalization fund for the support of the public schools of the county, which funds shall be distributed to the school districts of the county as provided herein. Election Sec. 3. On the petition of as many as one hundred (100) legally qualified taxpaying voters of any county, subject to the provisions of this Act, praying for the authority to levy and collect said tax, the County Judge shall immediately order an election to be held throughout the county, said election to be held not more than thirty (30) days, nor less than twenty (20), from the date of such order. The County Judge shall give notice of such election by causing to be published a copy of the order of the election in some newspaper, published in the county once each week for three (3) consecutive weeks prior to the date of such election, the date of the first publication to be not less than twenty (20) days prior to the date fixed by the election. Only legally qualified property taxpaying voters who own property in the county and who have duly rendered the same for taxation shall be allowed to vote in said election. The form of ballot shall be substantially as follows: "For the county-wide equalization tax." "Against the county-wide equalization tax." The manner of holding said election shall be governed by the General Laws of the State of Texas regulating elections and shall be held at the regular polling places within the county with duly appointed election officers holding said election. The officers holding the election shall make returns thereof to the County Judge within ten (10) days after the same was held. The Commissioners Court shall at its next regular meeting canvass the returns of said election, and if a majority of the votes cast shall favor such tax, the Court shall declare the result and certify the same to the County Board of School Trustees and to the County Tax Assessor and Collector, and said Board of County School Trustees shall thereupon be authorized to levy said tax and the County Tax Assessor and Collector shall be authorized to assess and collect same. No election to revoke said tax shall be ordered until the expiration of five years (5) from the date of the election at which said tax was adopted. Assessment and collection; reports Sec. 4. In counties voting such equalization tax the County Tax Assessor shall assess all the taxable property in the county at the same rate of valuation as it is assessed for state and county purposes, and the County Tax Collector shall collect said tax at the same time and in the same manner as state and county taxes are collected. The Tax Collector shall have the same authority and the same laws shall apply in the collection of said tax as in the collection of county ad valorem taxes. He shall, on or before the 10th of each month, make a report to the County Board of School Trustees and to the County Superintendent of Schools showing all moneys collected by him during the last month by said tax. The officers assessing and collecting said equalization tax shall receive therefor the same compensation as is paid for assessing and collecting school taxes in common school districts. Treasurer; deposits Sec. 5. The County Superintendent shall be the Treasurer of the county-wide equalization district and shall keep an accurate record of all moneys received and paid out by such county-wide equalization district. The county depository shall be the depository for the county-wide equalization district and such depository shall enter into a bond of a like condition and amount as is prescribed by law for depositories of county funds. The Tax Collector shall on or before the 10th of each month deposit all moneys collected by him during the preceding month by said school equalization tax in the depository to the credit of the county-wide school equalization fund. Distribution of money collected Sec. 6. The County Board of School Trustees shall distribute the money collected from any taxes levied by said ditrict to the common and independent school districts of the county on the same basis that the state per capita apportionment is distributed among said common and independent school districts. The County Board of School Trustees shall issue warrants to be signed by the President of said Board, attested by the Secretary thereof, against such equalization fund to the School District Trustees on a per capita basis as is provided herein; provided, however, that the County Board shall from time to time, as the money is collected, issue warrants to the various school districts in proportion to the amount that each is entitled to receive on such per capita basis as provided herein. Powers and duties of trustees Sec. 7. This Act shall not have the effect of changing any duties imposed on or powers conferred on the Trustees of any common or independent school district situated in the counties covered by this Act unless and except as expressly provided herein; it being the intention of this law that respective Boards of Trustees shall continue to administer their lawful duties and powers as now authorized by law, but the equalization tax authorized shall be levied by the County Board of School Trustees, and assessed and collected by the County Tax Assessor and Collector, and distributed to the respective districts by the County Board of School Trustees. Partial invalidity; repeal Sec. 8. In the event any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this Act shall be held unconstitutional or void, then and in that event it is hereby declared to be the legislative intent that all other clauses, sentences, paragraphs, sections, and parts of this Act shall have full effect according to their purport and intent. All laws or parts of laws, both General and Special, in conflict with this Act, are hereby repealed insofar and only insofar as they conflict with the provisions of this Act in its local application.

(a) Any person who is a police officer of the city on the date the police retirement system becomes effective and was a member of the predecessor system on December 31, 1979, shall become a member as a condition of employment. (b) Any person who is a police officer of the city on the date the police retirement system becomes effective but was not a member of the predecessor system, if eligible for membership, shall become a member as a condition of employment and shall make the required deposits commencing with the first pay period following a probationary period of six continuous months from date of employment or eligibility, if later. (c) Any person who becomes an employee of the city or the system, if eligible for membership, shall become a member as a condition of employment and shall make the required deposits commencing with the first pay period following a probationary period of six continuous months from date of employment or eligibility, if later. (d) Police officers of the city and employees of the system may not become members of the police retirement system if they are part-time police officers or employees of the system who are expected to work less than a normal work week or if they are seasonal or temporary police officers or employees of the system. A full-time police officer of the city or employee of the system eligible for membership in the system is one whose position is classified in the annual budget, who is expected to be employed throughout the full calendar year, and whose employment is expected to continue from year to year. (e)(1) Membership in the police retirement system shall consist of the following groups: (A) Active--Contributory: the member who is in a status which allows payroll contributions to the police retirement system (working a normal work week, holding a full-time position, and having completed a continuous period of six months of service initially, to attain membership). (B) Active--Noncontributory: the member whose current employment status does not allow contributions to the system (working less than a normal work week or on a leave of absence under Subsection (f)(6)(A) of this section) and on return to working a normal work week, the member will again be given creditable service, with contributions resumed at time of status change. (C) Inactive--Contributory: the member who is on a uniformed service leave of absence under Subsection (f)(6)(B) of this section, who is allowed to make deposits to the system during the member's absence. (D) Vested--Noncontributory: the terminated member who, being vested, leaves the member's accumulated deposits in the system. (E) Retired: the member who is receiving a service or disability retirement annuity. (2) It shall be the duty of the police retirement board to determine the membership group to which each police officer or employee of the system who becomes a member of the police retirement system properly belongs. (f)(1) A member shall cease to be a member of the police retirement system and shall forfeit creditable service if, after employment termination through dismissal, resignation, or from any other cause, the member shall withdraw the member's accumulated deposits as provided under the withdrawal benefit provisions of this Act; provided, however, that any eligible member who has not previously received credit for one-half of the member's previously forfeited creditable service shall be entitled to reinstatement of previously forfeited creditable service if such eligible member or eligible surviving spouse shall have deposited in the system the accumulated deposits withdrawn and an interest charge based on the amount withdrawn times an interest factor. The factor is derived by adjusting and compounding the annual rates of interest that were credited to the accumulated deposits of members, where each annual rate is adjusted by dividing it by 0.75. The period for compounding the interest factor begins with the beginning of the month and year in which the member withdrew the member's accumulated deposits and ends with the beginning of the month and year payment is made to the system to reinstate the service. The annual rate of interest applicable for the year when payment is made is considered to be equal to the prior year's rate of interest for the purpose of making the determination. (2) For purposes of this subsection, an eligible member is a police officer who has been reemployed by the city or a system employee who has been reemployed by the system, has completed at least 24 consecutive months of service as a member since the member was reemployed, and is not separated from active service. For purposes of this subsection, an eligible surviving spouse is the surviving spouse of a member who was an eligible member immediately before the time of death if the member dies before making payment to the system of the amount required by this subsection. (3) In order to be eligible to reinstate previously forfeited creditable service, an eligible member or eligible surviving spouse must deposit the amount described in Subdivision (1) of this subsection as a lump sum in the system. An eligible surviving spouse may reinstate previously forfeited creditable service not later than the date that is six months after the date of the member's death and only if the lump-sum death benefit described by Section 6.05(a) or 6.06(a)(3) of this Act is not paid. (4) Any such member who has previously received credit for one-half of previously forfeited creditable service shall be entitled to reinstate the remaining one-half of the member's previously forfeited creditable service by payment of one-half of the amount previously withdrawn and an interest charge as described in Subdivision (1) of this subsection. (5) The method of determining the amount of the required payment described by Subdivision (1) of this subsection may be changed if: (A) the effect of the change is disclosed by the board's actuary; (B) the change is adopted by the board as a board rule; and (C) the change applies to all payments for reinstating previously forfeited creditable service under this subsection made to the system after the effective date of the change. (6)(A) A member granted a leave of absence or withdrawing from service for a stated period of time, not to exceed two years, who allows the member's accumulated deposits to the police retirement system to remain in the system, shall be eligible for continued membership on being reemployed by the city as a police officer or by the system as an employee of the system. During that period the employee shall not receive creditable service. (B) Uniformed service leave of absence shall not be included in the two-year period if the member returns to active service with the city as a police officer or with the system as an employee of the system within 90 days after the expiration of the uniformed service leave of absence. A member of the system on uniformed service leave of absence may make deposits to the system during the leave of absence, in an amount each biweekly pay period that is equal to the amount of the member's deposit for the last complete biweekly pay period that the member was paid by the city or the system. If a member on a uniformed service leave of absence makes biweekly deposits during the leave of absence, the employer shall make a contribution to the system for the member each biweekly pay period in an amount the employer would have made if the member's biweekly pay had continued to be the biweekly pay the member received for the last complete biweekly pay period that the member was paid by the employer. If the member does not make deposits during a uniformed service leave of absence, the member may make payment within five years after the member has returned to the employment of the city or the system, equal to the deposits the member would have made if the member had continued to be paid by the city or the system during the member's leave of absence at the same rate of pay the member was receiving at the time the member's leave of absence began. The payment may be a single payment or may be in installments as long as each individual installment is not less than 20 percent of the total amount to be paid. A member who otherwise would be eligible to make payment under this subdivision but who has not made payment and for whom it has been more than five years since the member returned to the employment of the city may make payment during the period beginning October 1, 1995, and ending September 30, 1996. If a member makes payment of the deposits after returning to the employment of the city or the system, the employer will make a single contribution for the member equal to the deposits it would have made on the member's behalf if the member had made deposits to the system during the period of the member's leave.
