SB 764 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the procedure for a hearing by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on the denial of an electrician's license or disciplinary action against an electrician.

SB 764 changes the procedure for hearings when the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation denies an electrician's license or takes disciplinary action against one. It directs that these hearings be governed by Chapter 2001 of the Texas Government Code (which outlines administrative hearing rules), rather than existing licensing procedures. This change applies only to hearings starting on or after September 1, 2025, meaning existing cases follow the old rules. The bill affects electricians facing license denial or discipline by shifting their hearing process to a standardized administrative framework.
