S.B. No. 1562 proposes the addition of Chapter 320 to Subtitle B, Title 4 of the Labor Code, which focuses on veterans' benefits and services. The bill mandates the Texas Workforce Commission, in consultation with the Texas Veterans Commission, to create and distribute a veterans benefits and services poster to employers with at least 50 employees. This poster will provide essential information for employees on how to apply for unemployment compensation, contact the Texas Veterans Commission, access tax benefits, obtain identification from the Department of Public Safety, and learn about available services such as education, legal assistance, and mental health treatment.

Furthermore, the bill requires that each employer display the distributed poster in a conspicuous location within their business, ensuring accessibility for all employees. The Texas Workforce Commission is tasked with completing the creation and distribution of the poster by December 1, 2025, and the act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
