Posted on: Apr 13, 2021 | Under: News , Featured News , General News ,

Beginning January 1, 2023, all active Texas Licensees must provide proof of successful completion of a Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) or Basic Life Support (BLS) certification for initial licensure renewal of a license each renewal cycle. 

 

Key Points:

  • This requirement begins in 2023 for initial licensure or license renewal.
  • Licensees can earn up to 2 General Hours for a CPR course, and 4 General Hours for a BLS course.
    • This can count towards the 32 hour requirement.
