HB 3306 would amend the Occupations Code to abolish the occupational licensure requirement for a person who installs or removes a boot on a vehicle or an office building owner or manager who installs or removes a boot in the building’s parking lot. The bill would add a few specific regulations related to booting but leave most regulatory authority over the issue to local authorities.
Abolishing an occupational license for "booting" and placing regulatory authority over this issue in the hands of local government supports our principles of limited government and free markets. Abolishing occupational licences is a worthy legislative pursuit which we encourage to be taken up with vigor. We support HB 3306.
