HB 3700 – DOGE the TWC

HB 3700 requires the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) to create a formal process to detect and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in all its programs, including those managed by outside contractors or grant recipients. The agency must build systems to identify suspicious activity and ensure a streamlined method for the public and stakeholders to report such issues—especially via an online reporting system. This reform fills a current gap, as only a few TWC programs had statutory anti-fraud requirements. This bill strengthens oversight and accountability without creating new bureaucracy or expanding government scope. By proactively addressing waste and inefficiencies, it safeguards taxpayer dollars and improves program integrity.
