Amend CSSB 280 (house committee printing, page 45, between 
lines 9 and 10) by inserting the following new ARTICLE:

ARTICLE 7A.  OTHER UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION ISSUES
	SECTION 7A.01.  Section 204.022, Labor Code, is amended by 
adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:
	(c)  Benefits may not be charged to the account of an 
employer, regardless of whether the liability for the chargeback 
arises in the employee's current benefit year or in a subsequent 
benefit year, if the employee's last separation from the employer's 
employment before the employee's benefit year was or would have 
been excepted from disqualification under Section 207.052(b).
	SECTION 7A.02.  Section 204.022(c), Labor Code, as added by 
this article, applies only to a claim for unemployment compensation 
benefits that is filed with the Texas Workforce Commission on or 
after the effective date of this Act.  A claim filed before that 
date is governed by the law in effect on the date the claim was 
filed, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
