The Texas Insurance Code requires the RAC to have seven members with staggered four-year terms. The RAC meets twice a year in Austin and is responsible for holding public meetings on retiree group coverage, recommending minimum standards and plan features, and recommending changes to rules and legislation impacting TRS-Care.
