Committee briefly hears SB 917 to streamline Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation board procedures
Summary
Senate Bill 917, sponsored by Dean Zaffrani, would streamline board operations and correct voting procedures at the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and speed certain boiler inspections. Resource staff from TDLR were available; no public testimony was offered and the bill was left pending.
Senate Bill 917, introduced by Senator Dean Zaffrani, was presented to the Committee on Business & Commerce as a short, technical bill intended to "streamline board operations, fix inaccurate voting procedures, and improve public safety through faster responding for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation," including impacts on boiler inspections.
Zaffrani described the bill as procedural and said the committee would hear resource witness testimony from TDLR. No public witnesses signed up to testify and the committee left the bill pending for further consideration and possible technical adjustments.
Ending: The committee left SB 917 pending; resource witnesses from TDLR remained available to answer technical questions as staff and the author fine‑tune language.
