House Bill 3287

House Author:  Giddings

Effective:  9-1-11

Senate Sponsor:  Carona


            House Bill 3287 amends the Occupations Code to expand the maximum period during which a person may renew a license issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) from less than one year after the expiration of a license to less than 18 months after the expiration of a license. Previous law allowed a person to renew a license that had been expired a year or more.  The bill allows a person whose license has been expired for at least 18 months but less than three years, on approval by the executive director of TDLR, to renew the license by paying to TDLR a renewal fee that is equal to two times the regular fee.
