The Wise Report, December 17, 2023

The Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists (TBPG) adopts an amendment to 22 TAC §851.22 Waivers and Substitutions: Policy, Procedures, and Criteria.  The adopted amendment to 22 TAC §851.22 would eliminate an unnecessary barrier to possible licensure.  The adopted amendment would also allow the person who failed an exam to apply for a waiver of the exam after five years have passed since the applicant last failed the exam . Five years offers an applicant sufficient time to gain further education and experience that would possibly qualify the person to become licensed without the need to take the exam the applicant previously failed.  For more information go to:  https://www.sos.state.tx.us/texreg/archive/December152023/Adopted%20Rule...
