Its mandate includes conducting ongoing actuarial reviews, providing educational training to pension trustees, and advising lawmakers on public pension legislation. Established in 1979 by the 66th Texas Legislature via House Bill 1506, the board was created to address growing concerns over unfunded pension liabilities in municipal and state funds.
