In an unexpected move earlier this month, the Senate unanimously passed an
amended bill that would delay by four more years the scheduled sunset review
for TDI, DWC, OPIC and OIEC. This will push sunset review of the Division
of Workers’ Compensation and the Office of Injured Employee Counsel to 2029,
rather than 2025 as originally scheduled. SB1659, which was introduced by
Senator Charles Schwertner of Georgetown - current chairman of the Texas Sunset
Advisory Commission - will now go to the House of Representatives for further
deliberations. At this time, we have no idea what is behind the legislation to
postpone review of these agencies, but the legislation seeks to modify the
review process for more than 40 Texas agencies.
