1-1 AN ACT
1-2 relating to the time limit regarding a protest for potential
1-3 chargebacks under the unemployment compensation system.
1-4 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-5 SECTION 1. Section 204.024, Labor Code, is amended to read
1-6 as follows:
1-7 Sec. 204.024. PROTEST OF POTENTIAL CHARGEBACKS. To protest
1-8 a potential chargeback, an employer to whom notice is mailed under
1-9 Section 204.023 must mail to the commission at Austin a protest not
1-10 later than the 30th [14th] day after the date the notice was mailed
1-11 or the right to protest the chargeback is waived. The protest
1-12 must include a statement of the facts supporting the grounds of the
1-13 protest.
1-14 SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 1999, and
1-15 applies only to a notice of a potential chargeback that is mailed
1-16 by the Texas Workforce Commission on or after that date. A notice
1-17 that is mailed before the effective date of this Act is governed by
1-18 the law in effect on the date the notice was mailed, and the former
1-19 law is continued in effect for that purpose.
1-20 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
1-21 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-22 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-23 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-24 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
