Tuesday Twitter Trivia – Deep In The Heart of Texas

This weeks Tuesday Twitter Trivia has a theme due to the great prize this week.  For a couple of years, I worked on Load-ins for a couple of tour and was required to wear a hard hat. A good friend from Texas gave me the best present back then, a Cowboy Hardhat. Since I do not tour anymore, it is time to pass on the the Cowboy Hardhat.

This Week Tuesday Twitter Trivia Question is:

Which Texas State Representative Authored and introduced a Bill earlier this year requiring lighting designers in Texas to be licensed as either electrician, architect, engineer, landscape architect, or interior designer.

Please give the persons name and district they represent in Texas.

As with all Tuesday Twitter Trivia Contest, please Direct Message us your answer through twitter @iSquint. The first person in with the correct answer wins.

Good Luck!

Texas House Bill 2649

Yesterday brought a lot of attention to the Texas House of Representatives and the passing of House Bill 2649.  The long and short of the bill is that is requires any lighting designer that works within the state of Texas to licensed as either an electrician, architect, engineer, landscape architect, or interior designer.

This has the potential to put a lot of lighting designers out of work with in the state.  Some fellow bloggers have put together EXCELLENT write ups on how we can make sure that this Bill gets knocked down.  While it has been passed by the house, thanks to our laws and how a bill becomes law, we still have a chance to block it from becoming law.

Please visit JimOnLight.com and read his posting about the Texas House Bill 2649 and how we can rally together to bring this bill and or verbiage about lighting designers down. Jim has been keeping a close watch on the progress of this bill and who to call, email and tweet.

Another way we can act is by contacting your State Governor and ask them to speak with Texas Governor Perry, (512-463-1782) about how this bill can hinder our livelihoods.  Visit the USA.gov page to contact your state Governor.
