S.B. No. 1376 amends the supervision requirements for code enforcement officers in training in Texas. The bill specifies that a code enforcement officer in training must typically work under the supervision of a registered code enforcement officer. However, it introduces a provision allowing an officer in training to engage in code enforcement without supervision if their employer does not also employ a registered code enforcement officer.

The bill aims to provide greater flexibility in the training and operational capacity of code enforcement officers, potentially addressing workforce shortages in this area. The changes will take effect immediately if passed by a two-thirds majority in both houses; otherwise, the law will come into effect on September 1, 2025.
