Commission Adopts Rules

The Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation adopted amendments to an existing rule at 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Chapter 59, §59.3, regarding the Continuing Education Requirements. The adopted rule is necessary to implement rules being concurrently adopted which removed the requirement for registered accessibility specialists to meet continuing education requirements with an approved course provider. The adopted rules modify the list of occupations which are subject to the continuing education requirements of 16 TAC, Chapter 59, by removing registered accessibility specialists. The adoption justification was published in the August 25, 2023, issue of the Texas Register (48 TexReg 4641) and is available online. The updated rule chapter will be available on the Secretary of State website upon its effective date of September 1, 2023.
