S.B. No. 1376 amends Section 1952.103(c) of the Occupations Code regarding the supervision requirements for code enforcement officers in training. The bill stipulates that a code enforcement officer in training may engage in code enforcement under the supervision of a registered code enforcement officer. However, it introduces a provision allowing an officer in training to operate without supervision if their employer does not also employ a registered code enforcement officer.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025. This change aims to provide more flexibility in the supervision of code enforcement officers in training, potentially addressing workforce shortages in this area.
