Texas HB710 allows occupational licenses and certifications from other states to be recognized, with certain conditions and exceptions.

Texas HB710 amends the Occupations Code to create a new chapter on the recognition of occupational licenses and government certifications from other states. A board must issue a license or certification to an individual who holds a valid one from another state, provided they meet specific criteria. These include having no disqualifying criminal record, not being under investigation for unprofessional conduct, and meeting work experience requirements. The bill also allows boards to charge a fee of up to $100 per application.
