	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to the regulation of temporary common worker employers.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Chapter 92, Labor Code, is repealed.
	SECTION 2. (a) An administrative proceeding pending under
	Chapter 51, Occupations Code, or Chapter 92, Labor Code, on the
	effective date of this Act related to a violation of Chapter 92,
	Labor Code, as that chapter existed immediately before the
	effective date of this Act, is dismissed.
	(b) An administrative penalty assessed by the Texas
	Commission of Licensing and Regulation or the executive director of
	the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation related to a
	violation of Chapter 92, Labor Code, as that chapter existed
	immediately before the effective date of this Act, may be collected
	as provided by Chapter 51, Occupations Code.
	(c) The changes in law made by this Act do not affect the
	pending prosecution of an offense under Chapter 92, Labor Code, as

	Act. An offense committed before the effective date of this Act is
	governed by the law in effect on the date the offense was committed,
	and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. For
	purposes of this subsection, an offense was committed before the
	effective date of this Act if any element of the offense was
	committed before that date.
	(d) The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shall
	return to a person who holds a valid license under Chapter 92, Labor
	Code, as that chapter existed immediately before the effective date
	of this Act, a prorated portion of the fee paid to the department
	for the issuance or renewal of the license.
	SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017.
