House Licensing & Administrative Procedures Committee

The committee meeting addressed several notable pieces of legislation, focusing particularly on SB650, which requires electronically readable information for verifying purchasers' ages in alcohol sales. The bill was substituted and subsequently reported favorably with unanimous support. Another key piece of legislation was SB1376, aimed at enhancing code enforcement by allowing trainees to operate unsupervised in towns lacking registered officers, crucial for effective zoning and sanitation enforcement. Following discussions, the committee agreed to leave SB1346 related to lottery regulations pending as further considerations were necessary. The meeting concluded with a collective acknowledgment of the importance of these bills in addressing both public safety and regulatory clarity in Texas.
