11/10/08:  At their meeting held September 10, 2008, the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation adopted amendments to the administrative rules for the electricians program regarding decreasing the application and renewal fees for electrical sign contractors and to separate the subsection addressing both application fees and renewal fees into two distinct subsections in the rules.  The amended adopted rule is 16 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 73, §73.80.

The amendments decrease the application and renewal fees for electrical sign contractors from $125 to $115.  In addition to the fee decrease, §73.80 is separated into two subsections to address application fees and renewal fees separately.

The rule adoption was filed with the Texas Register on October 9, 2008, and published in the October 24, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 8788).  The effective date of the rule adoption is November 1, 2008.
