Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1024	Senate Author:  Rodriguez
Effective:  9-1-11	House Sponsor:  Rodriguez, Eddie

            Senate Bill 1024 amends the Penal Code to specify that the intent to avoid payment for a service, for purposes of a theft of service offense involving agreeing to provide compensation for a service with that intent and failing to make full payment after service is rendered and a notice for payment is received, may be formed at any time during or before a pay period, if the compensation is or was to be paid on a periodic basis, and that the partial payment of wages alone is not sufficient evidence to negate the actor's intent to avoid payment for a service.
