Funding Soundness Restoration Plan (FSRP)

The PRB is engaging in rulemaking to facilitate implementation of the legislature’s 2021 changes to the Funding Soundness Restoration Plan (FSRP) statute. The PRB plans to adopt these rules in October 2022.  As a first step, the board’s Actuarial Committee discussed the initial rule concepts at its January 28 meeting.

The draft rules and draft board policy for Funding Soundness Restoration Plans are now available. The Actuarial Committee will discuss the draft rules and draft board policy on May 18th. The PRB is welcoming feedback on the drafts at this time. Please contact staff to request a Zoom link if you would like to provide a comment on the drafts but are unable to attend the meeting in person. You may also submit your comments by email to prb@prb.texas.gov. Staff is also available for discussion by phone or videoconference.


Other opportunities for feedback:

Staff will be accepting comments and feedback throughout the process, but there are some notable milestones for stakeholder participation:

• Staff will be drafting the rules and seeking informal feedback in March and April 2022.
• The initial draft rules will be presented for discussion at the Actuarial Committee meeting on May 18, 2022 and distributed for informal comment afterwards.
• Staff will then present the draft rules to the full board at the July 2022 meeting for approval to post in the Texas Register for the 30-day formal public comment period.
