AN ACT
 1-1     relating to a disqualification for receipt of unemployment
 1-2     compensation benefits for a benefit period in which the applicant
 1-3     for benefits works full-time.
 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 201.091, Labor Code, is amended by adding
 1-6     Subsection (e) to read as follows:
 1-7           (e)  For purposes of this subtitle, an individual is not
 1-8     considered unemployed and is not eligible to receive benefits for
 1-9     any benefit period during which the individual works the
1-10     individual's customary full-time hours, regardless of the amount of
1-11     wages the individual earns during the benefit period.
1-12           SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1999, and
1-13     applies only to a claim for unemployment compensation benefits that
1-14     is filed with the Texas Workforce Commission on or after that date.
1-15     A claim filed before that date is governed by the law in effect on
1-16     the date that the claim was filed, and the former law is continued
1-17     in effect for that purpose.
1-18           SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-19     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-20     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-21     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-22     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
