Texas Regulators Approve Rule Requiring Proof of Legal Presence for Professional Licenses

Texas regulators have adopted a new rule mandating proof of legal presence in the country for various professional licenses, affecting thousands of workers across industries. The rule, which takes effect May 1st, aligns with a 1996 federal law and aims to combat fraud, labor exploitation, and human trafficking. However, it has sparked concerns from workers and business owners about potential workforce shrinkage and economic slowdown. Supporters, including Governor Greg Abbotts office, praise the rule for protecting jobs for legal Texans and upholding federal standards. The agency plans close monitoring as implementation begins.
