Relating to the continuing education required in order for a person to renew the person's agreement with the comptroller of public accounts to serve as an arbitrator in an appeal through binding arbitration of an appraisal review board order determining a protest.
HB 3307 modifies renewal requirements for property tax arbitrators in Texas. It requires arbitrators who serve in appeals of appraisal review board decisions to complete eight hours of continuing education in arbitration or dispute resolution every two years. Approved sources include universities, real estate associations, or legal associations offering continuing education. The bill also mandates completing a revised state-approved training program on property tax law if updates occur after an arbitrator is added to the registry. This directly affects current and future arbitrators seeking to renew their status with the state tax office.

MINOR
This bill updates the continuing education requirements for arbitrators serving in Texas property tax appeals. The main change is reorganizing the training program requirements to clarify that arbitrators must complete at least eight hours of continuing education in arbitration and alternative dispute resolution from approved sources, plus complete a revised training program on property tax law within 120 days of availability.
Scope change
No change to the overall scope of the bill; it continues to govern continuing education requirements for arbitrators renewing their agreements with the comptroller of public accounts.
REQUIREMENT
Reorganized the continuing education requirements structure, separating the eight-hour continuing education requirement from the revised training program requirement for clearer presentation.
Added specific sub-items (A) and (B) to clarify the two conditions under which the revised training program must be completed: when the comptroller revises the program after registry inclusion and when the comptroller determines the program is substantially revised.
TECHNICAL
Added certification language at the end of the enrolled bill documenting House and Senate passage votes and dates.
