Revised Texas rules on occupational licenses and registrations ( 30 TAC 30) were adopted on September 27, 2007 and took effect January 1, 2008. Please note the changes to these rules by visiting the related Web page for each licensing program.
The significant changes affecting all licensees and registrants are as follows:
Effective January 1, 2008
- All licenses and registrations will be valid for three years, except for Visible Emissions Evaluators, which is still a six-month certification.
- Fees will be increased by $2.00 for each year the license is valid. Therefore, as an example, if you use to pay $105 for a three-year license, you will now pay $111.
- The fee increase applies to licenses and registrations expiring on or after January 1, 2008.
- Publication RG-373, Training Approval for Occupational Licensing has been revised. One of the new provisions is that training providers will need to submit a fee for each request for training approval. See link below.
