House Bill 329: The Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules are the result of House Bill 329 (HB 329), passed by the 78th Texas Legislature in 2003. The bill is codified in the Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1958. For more information, visit the Texas Legislature's web page.

79th Legislature (2005)

Three bills passed that amended the TMARR:

HB 74, effective 5-24-05, amended Section 1958.155 of the Occupations Code to allow a license holder employed by a school district to conduct both assessment and remediation on a project for that school district.

HB 1328, effective 5-24-05, concerns the Certificate of Mold Remediation (CMR), and amended Section 1958.154(b) of the Occupations Code to say that a property owner must provide to a prospective buyer a copy of any CMRs issued for the property within five years preceding the sale of the property. This bill also made a slight change to Section 3, Art. 21.21-11 of the Insurance Code: the CMR now indicates the underlying cause of the mold has been remediated "with reasonable certainty."

HB 2746, effective 9-1-05, changed the passing score for the state mold licensing exam from 80% to 70%. This change only affects those people taking the exam after 9-1-05, and does not affect any prior exam scores.
