BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 1305.168(b-1), Occupations Code, is |

|
|
hours of continuing education annually. Continuing education |
|
|
courses that satisfy the requirements of this subsection must |
|
|
address safety, the National Electrical Code, as adopted under |
|
