The group heading up the fight for the Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists (TBPG) has been named the Geoscience Counsil and they’ve been very busy organizing. This group is composed of a number of local, State, and National organizations. They are currently reaching out to as many Texas geological organizations as possible to present a coordinated approach to the Sunset Commission, TBPG, and the Texas Legislature. Towards this end, they are also in the process of hiring a lobbyist to help with this effort. The group is in the process of setting up a way for you to donate to the cause and should have something set up this week.
As discussed earlier, time is very short to get your comments into the Texas Sunset Commission. Please read the full report, or at least the executive summary, found at: https://www.sunset.texas.gov/reviews-and-reports/agencies/texas-board-professional-geoscientists-tbpg. In your comments be sure to discuss how geoscientists help protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. Public comments can be submitted to the Sunset Commission at: https://www.sunset.texas.gov/input-form and select Texas Board of Geoscientists (TBPG).
