House Bill 1990 amends the Texas Workers' Compensation Act, Labor Code, to change the purpose of the fee assessed on each member of the Texas Certified Guaranty Association with regard to the Texas certified self-insurer guaranty trust fund, to increase the fund's minimum balance, and to change the cap on the fund. The bill requires the association's board of directors to submit a recommended balance of the fund to the commissioner of workers' compensation before adopting the schedule of assessments to meet the fund's funding goal.
