Relating to the licensing and regulation of child swim instruction operators; requiring an occupational license; imposing an administrative penalty; authorizing fees.

HB 1800 establishes licensing requirements for businesses providing swim instruction to groups of three or more children under age seven. It requires operators (companies employing multiple staff) to obtain an occupational license from the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation, sets administrative penalties for violations, and authorizes fees to cover enforcement costs. The law creates safety standards for swim instruction, including minimum training requirements, and exempts licensed youth camps, child-care facilities, and government entities. The bill, titled the "Mitchell Chang Swim Safety Act," directly affects commercial swim instruction providers but not schools, camps, or public programs. It aims to improve child safety through regulated instruction standards and oversight.
