Background: The Teachers' Retirement System provides pension benefits for teachers and administrators employed by a school district or educational service district.

Summary: Two sections of statute governing contributions to the disability reserve fund and the death benefit fund of Teachers' Retirement System Plan 1 are repealed. The statutes repealed are obsolete because death and disability benefits have been paid for from the main pension reserve fund since 1992.
