Stakeholder Input for RPN 2025-027-030-WS - Occupational Licensing Updates

Please note that this comment form is for the purpose of submitting comments to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Stakeholder meetings are an opportunity for you to provide informal comments before formal rulemaking begins. The petitions seek to require continuing education (CE) ethics training for renewal of all levels of public water system and wastewater operator licenses. The petitioners requested that four hours of ethics training be required in each renewal cycle, which is every three years, and be counted towards the 30 CE credits already required to renew a license. The rulemaking will also implement Senate Bills (SB) 1080 and 1818 and House Bills (HB) 5629 and 1237 from the Texas 89th Legislative Session. SB 1080 amends the automatic revocation of licenses following a felony conviction. SB 1818 and HB 5629 amend the process for military service members, veterans, and military spouses applying for a reciprocal license. HB 1237 allows licensees to renew their license up to 180 days past expiration.
