SB 1376 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the supervision requirements of a code enforcement officer in training.

This bill amends Texas law to change supervision requirements for code enforcement officers in training. It requires trainees to work under a registered supervisor, unless their employer does not employ any registered supervisors (in which case they may work unsupervised). The policy directly affects municipalities and employers hiring code enforcement trainees across Texas. The bill became effective immediately upon the Governor's signature on June 20, 2025.
