DIGEST AND PURPOSE 

Current law requires state agencies to notify the Texas Workforce
Commission (TWC) and the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Office in the
governor's office of all job vacancies occurring and filled in Travis
county.  The functions of the EEO Office in the governor's office have been
administratively transferred to TWC.  When the transfer occurred, the law
regarding notification of job vacancies was not amended to reflect the new
arrangement.  As proposed, S.B. 1396 requires state agencies to notify only
TWC of job vacancies.

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a
