S.B. No. 912 establishes a framework for verifying health care practitioners' compliance with continuing education requirements through the creation of continuing education tracking systems. The bill transfers and redesignates Section 112.002 of the Occupations Code to Section 112.0501, clarifying that the subchapter applies to licensing entities and health care practitioners under specific chapters. It introduces a new Subchapter C, which outlines definitions related to continuing education courses, providers, and tracking systems, and mandates that licensing entities must verify compliance with continuing education requirements before renewing a health care practitioner's license.

Additionally, the bill requires each licensing entity to establish a continuing education tracking system by September 1, 2026, with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation having until September 1, 2028, to comply with these requirements. The tracking system must be accessible to health care practitioners and must not impose any costs on the licensing entities. The bill also stipulates that the tracking system must collect specific information related to compliance and adhere to relevant regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
