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.
