House Bill 1785 amends the Occupations Code to revise educational requirements for an occupational therapist license applicant to require certain applicants to have a baccalaureate degree, certificate evidencing completion of undergraduate course work, or postbaccalaureate degree from a program approved by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education, its predecessor organization, or another national credentialing agency approved by the Texas Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners. The bill modifies the conditions under which a person may renew a license that has been expired for one year or longer and under which an out-of-state practitioner may renew a license. The bill also includes provisions relating to a late fee for the renewal of licenses that have been expired less than one year.
