                       74th Regular Session

                        February 18, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Rene O. Oliveira, Chair      IN RE:  House Bill No. 1027
         Committee on Economic Development              By: Oliveira
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1027 (Relating to certain eligibility conditions for receipt of
unemployment compensation benefits.) this office has determined
the following:

The bill would amend Section 207.021(a), Labor Code to add an
additional eligibility condition to receive unemployment
benefits.  The new provision would require claimants identified
by a profiling system as being likely to exhaust benefits to
participate in reemployment services such as a job search
assistance service.  An individual would be excused from
participation if the individual had completed participation in
such services or had a reasonable cause for not participating.


No significant fiscal implication to the State or units of local
government is anticipated.
