1-23 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-24 AN ACT
1-25 relating to hazardous duty pay for certain employees of the Texas
1-26 Youth Commission.
1-27 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-28 SECTION 1. Section 1, Chapter 211, Acts of the 66th
1-29 Legislature, Regular Session, 1979 (Article 6252-20b, Vernon's
1-30 Texas Civil Statutes), is amended by adding Subsection (d) to read
1-31 as follows:
1-32 (d)(1) An employee of the Texas Youth Commission, other than
1-33 agency central office employees or employees whose work in an
1-34 agency facility involves only occasional contact with youth, who
1-35 has routine direct contact with youth placed in a residential
1-36 facility of the commission or with youth released under the
1-37 commission's supervision may receive hazardous duty pay in an
1-38 amount that does not exceed the amount authorized by Subsection (a)
1-39 of this section, subject to any condition or limitation related to
1-40 receipt of the hazardous duty pay prescribed by:
1-41 (A) Subsections (a)-(c) of this section; or
1-42 (B) the General Appropriations Act.
1-43 (2) No hazardous duty payments shall be made from
1-44 funds authorized for payment of across-the-board employee salary
1-45 increases. The receipt of hazardous duty pay under this subsection
1-46 does not qualify an employee for retirement benefits from the law
1-47 enforcement and custodial officer supplemental retirement fund.
1-48 SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
1-49 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
1-50 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-51 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-52 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-53 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
