The bill would also require the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation to adopt rules under Section 1151.1605 of the Occupations Code, as added, not later than October 1, 2011.

The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote in each house.  If the bill does not receive a two-thirds vote in each house, the bill would take effect September 1, 2011.
