|
|
(e) In consultation with local workforce development |
|
|
boards, the Texas Workforce Commission by rule shall establish |
|
|
contracting guidelines for boards under this section, including |
|
|
guidelines designed to: |
|

operations; |
|
|
(2) prevent potential conflicts of interest between |
|
|
boards and entities that contract with boards under this section; |
|
|
and |
|
|
(3) ensure that if a board acts as a fiscal agent for |
|
|
an entity that contracts with the board to provide one-stop |
|
|
workforce services, the board does not deliver the services or |
|
|
determine eligibility for the services[; and] |
|
|
[(4)
ensure that an entity that contracts with a board
|
|
|
under this section may use, display, and advertise the entity's
|
|
|
name when providing workforce services for the board]. |
|
|
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
