House Bill 1243 amends the Labor Code to require the division of workforce development of the Texas Workforce Commission, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Human Services, to develop and implement a system to monitor the long-term employment history of former recipients of employment assistance. For each former recipient, the system must establish a baseline earnings measure, track wage and employment outcomes for up to three years, provide information regarding household composition and earnings and additional training or education, and compare earnings to the federal poverty level and to the self-sufficiency standard. The bill requires the commission to report information developed under the system to the legislature not later than January 1 of each odd-numbered year.
