A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
  relating to unemployment compensation chargebacks regarding
  certain persons employed as seasonal employees.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 204.022, Labor Code, is amended by
  adding Subsection (a-3) to read as follows:
         (a-3)  Benefits computed on benefit wage credits of a
  seasonal employee or former seasonal employee may not be charged to
  the account of an employer if at least 75 percent of the employees
  employed by the employer during each of the most recent three
  calendar years were employed as seasonal employees. In this
  subsection, "seasonal employee" means an employee who, as a regular
  course of the employee's conduct, engages in seasonal or cyclical
  employment that does not continue throughout the entire year.
         SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only
  to a claim for unemployment compensation benefits filed with the
  Texas Workforce Commission on or after the effective date of this
  Act. A claim filed before the effective date of this Act 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.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect October 1, 2021.
