Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1519 amends the Labor Code to allow the Texas Workforce Commission to receive donations from any person or organization other than for-profit entities that have contracts with the commission for, or have submitted bids for, goods and services of $50,000 or more. This provision does not apply to child-care service providers. For-profit entities may make a donation to the commission after the first anniversary of submitting a bid or entering into a contract valued at $50,000 or more. The act also prohibits donations from a person who is a party to a lawsuit to which the commission is a party and a person who is party to a pending administrative proceeding at the commission until 30 days after the commission issues a final order.
