IN RE:
HB965 by Callegari (Relating to continuing education requirements for persons holding licenses issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the Texas Commission on Evnironmental Quality (TCEQ) to accept internet based continuing education programs for occupational licenses issued by the agency. The bill also would add a requirement for the TCEQ to provide a means for certain license holders to certify at the time their license is renewed that they have complied with the commission’s continuing education requirements. These requirements are not expected to result in significant costs to the TCEQ.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
