IN RE:
HB2443 by González, Mary (Relating to the electronic submission of a wage claim to the Texas Workforce Commission.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Labor Code relating to the electronic submission of a wage claim to the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). Based on the LBB's analysis of TWC, this analysis assumes the duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2017; however, the provisions of the bill would only apply to a wage claim that is filed on or after January 1, 2018. TWC would be required to adopt rules for the administration of the section no later than December 1, 2017.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
