| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 1704.055(c), Occupations Code, is | ||
| amended to read as follows: | ||
| (c) A board in a county with a population of less than | ||

| January, April, July, and October at the call of the presiding | ||
| officer; and | ||
| (2) at other times at the call of the presiding | ||
| officer. | ||
| SECTION 2. Section 1704.162, Occupations Code, is amended | ||
| by adding Subsection (h) to read as follows: | ||
| (h) Notwithstanding the expiration date of a license issued | ||
| under this chapter, if a board to which Section 1704.055(c) applies | ||
| tables a license holder's application for renewal or otherwise does | ||
| not take action to approve or deny the application, the applicant's | ||
| current license continues in effect until the next meeting of the | ||
