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

SB 2059 requires the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to establish rules recognizing career and technology education programs. It specifies how program completion credits toward professional licenses, sets standards for classroom hours and hands-on training, and prohibits college programs from having stricter requirements than public high school programs. The bill directly affects programs offered by high schools, colleges, and private schools under Texas Education Code. This standardizes recognition across educational settings to align with licensing requirements.
