HB 667 by Johnson, A.: Creation of an Occupational License for Music Therapy

HB 667 seeks to create an occupational license for music therapists. Johnson filed the same legislation last legislative session, and though it was put on a House Calendar, it was never considered. Occupational licenses only raise barriers to entry, thereby stifling job growth and taxpayers. The Texas Legislature should be actively repealing licensure schemes and removing barriers to entry, not creating new ones. TFR opposes all occupational licenses. For this reason, TFR opposes HB667.
