TEXAS STATE ADVOCACY

Over the last 20-plus years, TACCA has enjoyed many successes at the Texas State Capitol and state agencies, in addition to playing constant defense. Along the way TACCA worked through the Appropriations process to increase the number of investigators dedicated to the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (ACR) program at the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), and successfully fought off a rule proposed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality which would have required air conditioning units sold in Texas to be treated with a substance that was supposed to turn carbon dioxide to oxygen. The rule would have increased the cost to contractors and the substance wasn't effective. We never know what we might face next!
