Bill → law → agency context
This relationship layer distinguishes what the normalized official record can prove from what it cannot. Enactment and effective dates come from the bill record. Agency names below are shown only when an official fiscal document supplies a verified agency reference; being cited in a fiscal note does not by itself prove that the agency administers the resulting law.
Official fiscal-note agency context
No verified agency references are available from the latest parsed official fiscal material. KeepTXRed does not infer an administering agency from the bill topic or title.

KeepTXRed summary
HB 2783 was a House-passed proposal allowing an eligible county to automatically enroll new county employees in a deferred-compensation retirement savings plan while preserving each employee's right to opt out. The Senate did not pass it.
What would change
If a commissioners court elected to use the system, new employees beginning work on or after January 1, 2026 would have been automatically enrolled with a compliant default investment option, informed during orientation of the right to opt out, and allowed to stop participation. Counties would have maintained acknowledgement records and structured the plan to comply with applicable federal default-investment rules.
Who may be affected
County employees, county commissioners courts, human-resources and payroll offices, deferred-compensation plan administrators, and retirement-plan providers.
When it would take effect
HB 2783 did not take effect. It passed the House and was received by the Senate but did not receive Senate passage before the regular session ended.
Limits and uncertainty
The proposal would have been optional for counties and opt-out for employees; it was not enacted. Current county deferred-compensation participation rules remain governed by existing law and individual county plan terms.
