HB 346 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

HORTICULTURE: Provides relative to arboricultural and utility arboricultural examination and license renewal requirements

HB 346 amends the requirements for renewing licenses for arboricultural and utility arboricultural examiners. The bill specifically changes the language in the renewal process to clarify that applicants must "complete" certain tasks rather than merely "attend" them. These text adjustments aim to ensure that license renewal procedures are clearly defined and followed by professionals in the tree care industry.
