A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
  relating to the disqualification from receiving unemployment
  benefits of certain individuals who are terminated from employment
  after giving notice of resignation.
         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,
  other than for circumstances described by Subsection (d), (f), (g),
  (g-1), or (j), after giving advance notice to the individual's
  employer of the individual's resignation and whose employment was
  terminated by the employer before the date stated in the advance
  notice of resignation as the individual's last day of work is
  disqualified for benefits under Subsection (a), regardless of
  whether 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.
