House Bill 2034 amends the Labor Code to establish that an individual is not disqualified for unemployment compensation benefits if the individual left the individual's last work to attend training approved by the Texas Workforce Commission and the last work did not constitute suitable work for the individual. The bill prohibits a chargeback to an employer for such an individual and for an individual who left work to enter training approved under the federal Trade Act of 1974 if the work the individual left was not suitable for employment. The bill repeals provisions relating to the disqualification of an individual for unemployment compensation benefits for a period of unemployment for which the individual left work to attend an established educational institution.
