A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to the regulation of temporary common worker employers. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Chapter 92, Labor Code, is repealed. |
|
|
SECTION 2. (a) An administrative proceeding pending under |
|
|
Chapter 51, Occupations Code, or Chapter 92, Labor Code, on the |
|
|
effective date of this Act related to a violation of Chapter 92, |
|
|
Labor Code, as that chapter existed immediately before the |
|
|
effective date of this Act, is dismissed. |
|
|
(b) An administrative penalty assessed by the Texas |
|
|
Commission of Licensing and Regulation or the executive director of |
|
|
the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation related to a |
|
|
violation of Chapter 92, Labor Code, as that chapter existed |
|
|
immediately before the effective date of this Act, may be collected |
|
|
as provided by Chapter 51, Occupations Code. |
|
|
(c) The changes in law made by this Act do not affect the |
|
|

|
|
governed by the law in effect on the date the offense was committed, |
|
|
and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. For |
|
|
purposes of this subsection, an offense was committed before the |
|
|
effective date of this Act if any element of the offense was |
|
|
committed before that date. |
|
|
(d) The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shall |
|
|
return to a person who holds a valid license under Chapter 92, Labor |
|
|
Code, as that chapter existed immediately before the effective date |
|
|
of this Act, a prorated portion of the fee paid to the department |
|
|
for the issuance or renewal of the license. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
