BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 6002.158(c), Insurance Code, is amended
to read as follows:
(c) Training school instructors must be approved by the

must:
(1) hold a fire alarm planning superintendent license,
a residential fire alarm superintendent license, or a fire alarm
technician license; and
(2) have at least three years of experience in fire

continued in effect for that purpose.
