TSPE’s efforts with the 82nd Legislative Session again proved to be a lot of work, and again, we had a lot of successes for PEs. While we have all been kept informed on the progress made during the session regarding issues related very closely to our profession such as preserving QBS, encroachments into our scope of practice, dam safety and the architecture/engineering scope of practice dispute, there were many other bills passed that impact our business in the construction industry.
At our January lunch meeting we are pleased to have Mr. Mitch Milby review many new bills that will impact our work in the construction industry and our business operations. Please come welcome Mr. Milby as he informs us what other matters we need to know about from the 82nd Texas Legislative Session, and what we might see in the next session.
The program will start promptly at 12:00PM.
