| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||

| Sec. 101.1175. PARENTAL CONSENT FOR MINORS. (a) In this | ||
| section, "minor" means an individual younger than 18 years of age | ||
| who has not had the disabilities of minority removed for general | ||
| purposes under Chapter 31, Family Code. | ||
| (b) Notwithstanding Section 101.001, a labor union may not | ||
| accept a minor as a member unless the labor union obtains on a form | ||
| provided by the Texas Workforce Commission the signed consent of | ||
| the minor's parent, managing conservator, or guardian. | ||
| SECTION 2. Not later than November 1, 2017, the Texas | ||
| Workforce Commission shall develop the form required by Section | ||
| 101.1175, Labor Code, as added by this Act. | ||
| SECTION 3. Section 101.1175, Labor Code, as added by this | ||
| Act, applies only to a minor who applies to join a labor union on or | ||
| after January 1, 2018. A minor who applies to join a labor union | ||
| before that date is governed by the law in effect on the date the | ||
| minor applies to join the labor union, and the former law is | ||
| continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
| SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. | ||
