IN RE:
HB4296 by Schaefer (Relating to the high school instruction and licensure of a tradesman plumber, and waiver of certain fee requirements.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Occupations Code relating to the high school instruction and licensure of a tradesman plumber, and waiver of certain fee requirements. The bill would waive the apprenticeship registration and tradesman-plumber limited license fees for certain individuals but the revenue loss would not be significant. Based on information provided by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, this analysis assumes that the duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2019.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
