## Text

(a) Except as provided by Subsections (g) and (h), each payroll period, a judicial officer who is a member of the retirement system other than a cash balance group member is required to contribute 9.5 percent of the officer's state compensation for service rendered after September 1, 2019.

(b) The payroll officer responsible for paying the state compensation of a member of the retirement system required by this section to make a contribution shall:

(1) make the required deductions from the member's state compensation;

(2) certify to the board of trustees the amounts deducted from the member's state compensation;

(3) transmit monthly, or at the time designated by the board of trustees, a certified copy of the payroll or report to the retirement system; and

(4) pay the deducted amounts to the retirement system for deposit in the trust fund of the system.

(c) To facilitate the making of deductions, the board of trustees may modify a member's required deductions by an amount that does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the annual compensation on which the deductions are made.

(d) The retirement system shall record all receipts of member contributions and shall credit the receipts to the appropriate account.

(e) The deductions required by this section shall be made even if the member's state compensation is reduced below the amount equal to the minimum compensation provided by law.

(f) By becoming a member of the retirement system, a member consents to the deductions required by this section. The payment of state compensation less those deductions is a complete release of all claims, except benefits provided by this subtitle, for services rendered by the member during the payment period.

(g) Except as provided by Section 840.1025, a member who accrues 20 years of service credit in the retirement system ceases making contributions under this section but is considered a contributing member for all other purposes under this subtitle.

(h) If a member has served at least 12 years on an appellate court and the sum of the member's age and amount of service credited in the retirement system equals or exceeds the number 70, the member ceases making contributions under this section. A member described by this subsection is considered a contributing member for all other purposes under this subtitle.
