relating to a redetermination of a preliminary wage determination | ||
order by the Texas Workforce Commission. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Subchapter D, Chapter 61, Labor Code, is amended | ||
by adding Section 61.0521 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 61.0521. REDETERMINATION BY EXAMINER. (a) If an | ||
examiner discovers an error in connection with a preliminary wage | ||
determination order or discovers additional information not | ||
previously available, the examiner, within the period specified by | ||
Section 61.054, may reconsider and redetermine the order. | ||
(b) An examiner's redetermination of a preliminary wage | ||
determination order replaces the original order and becomes final | ||
unless either party requests a hearing under Section 61.054. | ||
SECTION 2. Sections 61.054 and 61.055, Labor Code, are | ||
amended to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 61.054. REQUEST FOR HEARING ON PRELIMINARY ORDER. | ||
(a) Either party may request a hearing before a wage claim appeal | ||
tribunal to appeal a preliminary wage determination or | ||
redetermination order made under Section 61.052 or 61.0521. | ||
(b) The request for hearing must be made in writing not | ||
later than the 21st day after the date the commission examiner mails | ||
the notice of the preliminary wage determination or redetermination | ||
order, as applicable. | ||
Sec. 61.055. PRELIMINARY ORDER FINAL IF HEARING NOT | ||
REQUESTED. If neither party requests a hearing to appeal a | ||
preliminary wage determination or redetermination order within the | ||
period prescribed by Section 61.054, the order becomes the final | ||
order of the commission for all purposes, and neither party is | ||
entitled to judicial review of the order under this subchapter. | ||
SECTION 3. The changes in law made by this Act apply to a | ||
wage claim filed under Subchapter D, Chapter 61, Labor Code, on or | ||
after the effective date of this Act. A wage claim filed before | ||
that date 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 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. |
