A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-1 AN ACT
1-2 relating to the eligibility for unemployment compensation benefits
1-3 of certain employees of 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 repealing subsections (b) and (c).
1-7 SECTION 2. Section 207.041, subsections (d) and (e) are
1-8 amended to read as follows:
1-9 (b) [(d)] Benefits are not payable to an individual based on
1-10 services described in subsection (a) performed for an educational
1-11 institution for a week that begins during an established and
1-12 customary vacation period or holiday recess if:
1-13 (1) the individual performed the services in the
1-14 period immediately before the vacation period or holiday recess;
1-15 and
1-16 (2) there is a reasonable assurance that the
1-17 individual will perform the services in the period immediately
1-18 following the vacation period or holiday recess.
1-19 (c) [(c)] Benefits are not payable as provided under this
1-20 section to an individual based on services described in subsection
1-21 (a) performed in an educational institution if the individual
1-22 performed the services while employed by an educational service
1-23 agency. For purposes of this subsection, "educational service
1-24 agency" means a governmental agency or other governmental entity
2-1 that is established and operated exclusively to provide services to
2-2 one or more educational institutions.
2-3 SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 1997, and
2-4 applies only to benefit eligibility for an unemployment
2-5 compensation claim that is filed with the Texas Workforce
2-6 Commission on or after that date. A claim filed before that date
2-7 is governed by the law in effect on the date that the claim was
2-8 filed, and that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
2-9 SECTION 4. The importance of this legislation and the
2-10 crowded conditions of the calendars in both houses create an
2-11 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
2-12 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
2-13 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
