|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 1305.168(b-1), Occupations Code, is |
|
|

|
|
enrolled in an apprenticeship training program must complete four |
|
|
hours of continuing education annually. Continuing education |
|
|
courses that satisfy the requirements of this subsection must |
|
|
address safety, the National Electrical Code, as adopted under |
|
|
Section 1305.101, and state laws and rules that regulate the |
|
|
