relating to administrative violations committed by certified | ||
self-insurer administrators under the Texas Workers' Compensation | ||
Act; authorizing an administrative penalty. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 415.002, Labor Code, is amended by | ||
adding Subsections (c) and (d) to read as follows: | ||
(c) An administrator, as defined by Section 4151.001, | ||
Insurance Code, commits an administrative violation under | ||
Subsection (a) if the administrator: | ||
(1) is under contract with a certified self-insurer; | ||
and | ||
(2) engages in conduct described by Subsection (a) in | ||
the course of administering a claim on behalf of the certified | ||
self-insurer. | ||
(d) A certified self-insurer may not be charged with an | ||
administrative violation under Subsection (a) if the conduct that | ||
is the subject of the violation was engaged in by an administrator, | ||
as defined by Section 4151.001, Insurance Code, of the certified | ||
self-insurer, unless the certified self-insurer was aware that the | ||
administrator was engaging in that conduct. | ||
SECTION 2. Sections 415.002(c) and (d), Labor Code, as | ||
added by this Act, apply only to an administrative violation | ||
committed on or after the effective date of this Act. An | ||
administrative violation committed before the effective date of | ||
this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the | ||
administrative violation was committed, and the former law is | ||
continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
