Relating to the requirement that certain state employees conduct agency business only at the employee's regular place of employment.
SB 2704 requires most Texas state employees to conduct agency business only at their regular workplace during normal hours, unless specific exceptions apply. Exceptions include disaster response, medical accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, job duties requiring frequent travel, cybersecurity threats, or direct gubernatorial approval. Agencies must obtain written authorization for any exceptions and report them to the state auditor, with annual summaries required. The bill explicitly prohibits using personal residences as work locations without prior written approval from an agency leader. It applies broadly to state agencies but excludes the judicial branch.
