TITLE 16. ECONOMIC REGULATION
PART 4. TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF
LICENSING AND REGULATION
CHAPTER 59. CONTINUING EDUCATION
REQUIREMENTS
16 TAC 59.3
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (Depart-
ment) proposes amendments to an existing rule at 16 Texas
Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 59, 59.3, regarding the
continuing education program.
The proposed amendments to 59.3 implement Senate Bill (SB)
562, 83rd Legislature, Regular Session (2013) which amended
Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1703, relating to the regu-
lation of polygraph examiners regarding mandatory continuing
education.
The proposed amendments to 59.3 add polygraph examiners to
the list of occupations regulated by the Department that require
continuing education.
Additional amendments to 59.3 are also being proposed to im-
plement House Bill (HB) 3038, 83rd Legislature, Regular Ses-
sion (2013) which eliminated the licensing and regulation of as-
sociate auctioneers. Since the Department no longer regulates
associate auctioneers, the proposed amendment deletes them
from the list of occupations that require continuing education.
Water well and pump installer apprentices are also proposed
to be deleted from 59.3. The Department believes that Texas
Occupations Code, Chapters 1901 and 1902, do not authorize
this regulation. Effective March 1, 2013, 16 TAC Chapter 76
was amended to remove all references to water well drillers and
pump installer apprentices.
William H. Kuntz, Jr., Executive Director, has determined that for
the first five-year period the proposed amendments are in effect
there will be no direct cost to state or local government as a result
of enforcing or administering the proposed rule.
Mr. Kuntz also has determined that for each year of the first
five-year period the proposed amendment is in effect, the public
benefit will be added protection for the public health and safety
and to delete requirements that are no longer required.38 TexReg 6822 October 4, 2013 Texas Register
