TO:	Honorable John Davis, Chair, House Committee on Economic & Small Business Development
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2755 by Martinez Fischer (Relating to unemployment compensation eligibility and chargebacks regarding certain persons who are victims or whose immediate family members are victims of sexual assault or family violence.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Labor Code relating to unemployment compensation eligibility and chargebacks regarding certain persons who are victims or whose immediate family members are victims of sexual assault or family violence.  According to information provided by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), benefits paid under this bill would not represent a significant impact to the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund.

Based on the analysis of the TWC, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
