Summary

Audits only with reason to believe the employer broke the rules.

The bill bars the Texas Workforce Commission from randomly auditing employers for compliance with the state's unemployment compensation subtitle and its rules. The commission may audit an employer only when it has reason to believe that employer broke those rules. Starting September 1, 2025, Texas employers covered by the subtitle can no longer be picked for compliance audits at random.
