Summary: Some groups contend that code relating to staff leasing services or professional employer services are outdated and unclear. HB 2763 seeks to address this issue. The noteworthy provisions of this legislation follow:
Analysis: Updating the code to modernize and clean up language is a healthy practice and we support provisions in this bill to accomplish that goal. However, excessive regulations place a heavy burden on businesses. Adding more regulations expands the size and scope of government. For instance, this bill grants additional rulemaking authority to both the insurance commissioner and the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation. Expanding the size and scope of government offends our limited government principle. For these reasons, TPPA remains neutral on HB 2763.
