Chapter 113 (Senate Bill 40) of the 1947 General and Special Laws of Texas, passed by the 50th Legislature and approved April 19, 1947. The act first brought occupational diseases under Texas workmen's compensation. It defined compensable occupational diseases, including asbestosis and silicosis, and set three-year limits after last exposure for silicosis and asbestosis claims. It required five years' dust exposure, with benefits phased in, and allowed waivers. It also set up medical committee and autopsy procedures. The excerpt includes the volume's title page and preface.
