Relating to the regulation of code enforcement officers and code enforcement officers in training.
SB 2440 establishes new registration requirements for code enforcement officers and officers in training working for Texas state or local governments. It defines "code enforcement officer" as someone working for a government entity and engaging in code enforcement, and "code enforcement officer in training" as someone supervised by a registered officer. The bill requires officers to register with the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation, meet experience and exam requirements, and pay fees, while allowing exemptions for those already licensed under other state laws. Political subdivisions may still use exempt personnel without requiring registration. The bill directly affects local government code enforcement staff and their training programs.
