Caption: Relating to the exemption of certain activities from regulation as a structural pest control service. Initially Referred to House Agriculture & Livestock Committee, chaired by a Republican Last Referred to Senate Water, Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, chaired by a Republican
HB 3469 exempts certain nuisance bird control activities from regulation under Texas structural pest control laws. The bill allows individuals or businesses to use laser lights, noise-emitting devices, or recorded sounds to control nuisance birds without needing a structural pest control license, as long as the devices comply with local noise ordinances. However, the bill does not permit the use of devices that kill, harm, trap, or collect birds, nor does it allow the use of chemicals, explosives, or excessively loud noise-emitting devices. The bill is intended to allow non-lethal, non-chemical methods of bird control without unnecessary regulatory burdens
