Relating to the licensing and regulation of child swim instruction operators; requiring an occupational license; imposing penalties, including administrative penalties; authorizing fees.
SB 63 requires commercial swim instruction providers (businesses employing two or more people who teach groups of three or more children under age seven) to obtain a state occupational license. It establishes safety standards, mandates training requirements, and authorizes fees for licensing and enforcement by the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation. The bill imposes fines for violations, including administrative penalties, and defines "serious incidents" like injuries or illnesses requiring hospitalization. This directly affects swim schools and instructional businesses, not private lessons or exempt entities like licensed childcare facilities or youth camps.
