Committee hears cleanup bill to modernize podiatry licensing under TDLR
Summary
Sen. Zaffirini told the Senate Health & Human Services Committee that Senate Bill 968 would update podiatry licensing language moved to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to reflect current practice and remove obsolete provisions.
Senator Judith Zaffirini, sponsor of Senate Bill 968, told the Senate Committee on Health & Human Services that the bill would update podiatry licensing rules now administered by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).
Zaffirini said the measure is a TDLR-requested “cleanup bill” that would align statutes and rules with TDLR practices after administrative responsibility for podiatry moved from the Department of State Health Services in 2017. She said terms such as “temporary license” and “provisional license” are misleading under current law and that the provisional license provision is obsolete because the podiatry jurisprudence exam is now available on demand.
The sponsor said the bill would “modernize podiatry regulations under TDLR to reflect current practices.” No members asked substantive questions after the explanation. The committee closed public testimony and left the bill pending for further committee consideration.
