       74R1756 PB-F
                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to the eligibility for unemployment compensation benefits
    1-3  of employees of certain educational institutions.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.        Section 207.041, Labor Code, is amended by
    1-6  amending Subsection (b) and by adding Subsection (f) to read as
    1-7  follows:
    1-8        (b)  Benefits are not payable to an individual based on
    1-9  services performed for a private <an> educational institution in a
   1-10  capacity other than a capacity described by Subsection (a) for a
   1-11  week that begins during a period between two successive academic
   1-12  years or terms if:
   1-13              (1)  the individual performed the services in the first
   1-14  of the academic years or terms; and
   1-15              (2)  there is a reasonable assurance that the
   1-16  individual will perform the services in the second of the academic
   1-17  years or terms.
   1-18        (f)  Benefits are payable to an individual for services
   1-19  performed for a public educational institution in a capacity other
   1-20  than a capacity described by Subsection (a) for a week that begins
   1-21  during a period between two successive academic years or terms if
   1-22  that individual is otherwise eligible for benefits under this
   1-23  subtitle.
   1-24        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1995, and
    2-1  applies only to a claim for unemployment compensation benefits that
    2-2  is filed with the Texas Employment Commission on or after January
    2-3  1, 1996.  A claim filed before January 1, 1996, is governed by the
    2-4  law as it existed immediately before the effective date of this
    2-5  Act, and that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
    2-6        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
    2-7  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-8  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    2-9  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   2-10  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
