| relating to a requirement that certain employers maintain records | ||
| of complaints alleging sexual harassment. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Subchapter G, Chapter 21, Labor Code, is amended | ||
| by adding Section 21.3015 to read as follows: | ||
| Sec. 21.3015. INTERNAL RECORD OF EMPLOYEE COMPLAINT | ||
| ALLEGING SEXUAL HARASSMENT. (a) An employer who has 50 or more | ||
| employees shall maintain an internal record of each employee | ||
| complaint made to the employer that includes an allegation of | ||
| sexual harassment. The record must be maintained for at least five | ||
| years after the last date of employment with the employer of the | ||
| employee who made the complaint or of any person alleged in the | ||
| complaint to have committed sexual harassment, whichever date is | ||
| latest. | ||
| (b) The commission may adopt rules relating to the | ||
| information that must be maintained in an employer record under | ||
| this section. | ||
| SECTION 2. Section 21.3015, Labor Code, as added by this | ||
| Act, applies only to an employee complaint made on or after the | ||
| effective date of this Act. An employee complaint made before the | ||
| effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the | ||
| date the complaint was made, and the former law is continued in | ||
| effect for that purpose. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. | ||
