Texas SB2531 aims to increase occupational licensing reciprocity agreements between Texas and other states.

The bill, Texas SB2531, mandates that each licensing authority in Texas maximize occupational licensing reciprocity agreements with other states. Licensing authorities must identify state laws that hinder such agreements and recommend legislative actions to facilitate them. The bill requires licensing authorities to submit reports to the governor and the Legislative Budget Board by December 1 of each odd-numbered year. These reports must summarize efforts to maximize reciprocity agreements and describe efforts to obtain a license, including methods used to evaluate work experience.
