Relating to the recognition of career and technology education programs by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

HB 3920 requires the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) to create rules recognizing career and technology education (CTE) programs. These programs include high school CTE courses and similar offerings from colleges or private schools. The rules must specify how program completion credits toward licensing, define who can teach these programs, and set standards for classroom hours, practical training (including on-the-job credit), and ensure college programs don’t impose stricter requirements than high school programs. The bill affects CTE students seeking licenses in regulated fields and aims to standardize recognition across educational settings.
