Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Currently, under the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act, "manual" is
defined as the Standard Industrial Classification System (SIC) Manual
published by the United States Office of Management and Budget.  Over the
course of the next two years, the federal government will replace the SIC
Manual with the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
Manual.  House Bill 1104 redefines "manual" as the NAICS Manual to provide
for a smooth transition from the one classification system to the other. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 1104 amends the Labor Code to redefine "manual," under the Texas
Unemployment Compensation Act, as the North American Industrial
Classification System Manual published by the United States Office of
Management and Budget.  

EFFECTIVE DATE

September 1, 2001.
