SB 2444 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the regulation of sanitarians and sanitarians in training.

SB 2444 establishes a registration system for sanitarians and sanitarians in training in Texas. It requires individuals using the title "sanitarian" to hold a certificate of registration, which mandates a bachelor's degree with 30 science hours, two years of sanitation experience, and passing an exam. The bill directly affects professionals working in environmental sanitation who wish to use the title or represent themselves as sanitarians. Key provisions define "sanitarian" as trained in sanitary science for environmental inspections and "sanitarian in training" as those gaining experience under supervision. The law exempts licensed professionals like physicians, dentists, engineers, or veterinarians already regulated by other state agencies.
