Amend CSHB 272 (house committee printing) on page 11, between lines 19 and 20, by inserting the following:
(c) Subsection (b) applies only to a determination concerning the appointment of a qualified inspector under this chapter. The exclusive jurisdiction of the department under this section does not apply to the practice of engineering as defined by Section 1001.003, Occupations Code, or to a license issued, qualification required, determination made, order issued, judgment rendered, or other action of a board operating under Chapter 1001, Occupations Code. In the event of conflict, the authority of that board prevails with regard to the practice of engineering.
