| relating to the disqualification from receiving unemployment | ||
| benefits of individuals who resign from work in lieu of being | ||
| discharged for misconduct. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 207.045, Labor Code, is amended by | ||
| adding Subsection (g-2) to read as follows: | ||
| (g-2) An individual who left the individual's last work | ||
| voluntarily in lieu of being discharged for misconduct is | ||
| disqualified from receiving benefits, regardless of whether: | ||
| (1) the individual gave advance notice to the employer | ||
| of the individual's resignation; | ||
| (2) the individual was terminated by the employer | ||
| before the date stated in an advance notice of resignation as the | ||
| individual's last day of work; or | ||
| (3) the employer paid the individual for the entire | ||
| notice period. | ||
| 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 September 1, 2017. | ||
