HB 1817 aims to deregulate certain occupations and activities by repealing various provisions in the Agriculture Code, Labor Code, Occupations Code, and other statutes. It eliminates licensure requirements for auctioneers, journeyman industrial electricians, and other professions. The bill also modifies numerous legal references to remove regulations tied to these licenses and adjusts procedures for related transactions, including public auctions and workers’ compensation coverage by professional employer organizations.
