House Bill 2716

House Author:  Swinford

Effective:  6-18-05

Senate Sponsor:  Eltife


            House Bill 2716 amends the Government Code to provide that, notwithstanding any other law, state agency equal employment opportunity information required to be filed with the governor must be filed instead with the Texas Workforce Commission civil rights division.  The bill requires the division, rather than the governor, to compile the information into a report and file it with the governor and the legislature as a separate report or as a part of any other biennial report to the legislature.  The bill amends the Labor Code regarding the deadline for state agencies to report equal employment opportunity information to the division.
