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 3221 was a House-passed proposal changing how certain public-education employers calculate employer contributions to the Teacher Retirement System of Texas. It did not become law.
What would change
The proposal would have extended the statutory-minimum-salary contribution calculation to TRS members employed by open-enrollment charter schools or innovation districts whose employees otherwise were not subject to the normal minimum salary schedule, rather than basing the contribution on the employee's full salary in the same manner as before.
Who may be affected
Open-enrollment charter schools, districts of innovation, teachers and other TRS members, TRS, school finance administrators and taxpayers.
When it would take effect
HB 3221 did not take effect. It passed the House and was referred to Senate Finance on May 14, 2025, but did not receive final Senate passage. The proposal would have applied beginning with the 2025-26 school year.
Limits and uncertainty
No TRS employer-contribution calculation change was enacted through HB 3221. Existing Government Code contribution rules remain controlling.
