This law allows the chief or any inspector to enter and check the places and things used by businesses covered under this chapter. They can look at equipment, materials, products at any stage of completion, and all related records.

This section gives authority to the chief or inspectors to examine, by opening them, any upholstered furniture or bedding to check the materials inside. They can take the whole item or just a sample for testing. If the material is legally compliant, the bureau will pay back the business for the sample cost. However, if the material doesn't meet regulations, no reimbursement is given.

The person in charge or an inspector has the authority to check if used or damaged bedding or filling materials are suitable to be cleaned and sold again.

If an inspector condemns any piece of upholstered furniture or bedding, they need to attach a red tag to it. This tag will include information specified by the chief.

If someone refuses to show an inspector an item that has been condemned or a notice of violation they signed or chose not to sign, they are breaking the rules of this chapter.

This law says that you can't do anything to disrupt or get in the way of an inspector from the bureau or from the department's Division of Investigation while they are working or doing their job.

Whenever an inspector finds out about a rule being broken in this chapter, they must inform the chief about it.

The head of the department or someone they choose can require a licensed individual to come to a meeting. At this meeting, the person has to explain why they shouldn't face punishment or legal action for breaking the rules of this specific chapter.

This law section states that whenever there is a hearing or disciplinary action related to this chapter, it must follow the rules outlined in another specific part of the Government Code, unless Article 9.5 of this chapter requires otherwise.

This law says that a business license can be disciplined through suspension, revocation, reprimand, or probation if a business violates specific laws or rules, including those against false advertising. However, for wholesalers or retailers, their license can't be suspended unless it's proven they knowingly sold non-compliant products. Additionally, when suspending or revoking a license, the bureau can set conditions on how to handle the non-compliant products or fulfill any existing contracts.

If someone loses their license, doesn't renew it while it's suspended, or has it revoked, and they were also involved in the reasons for that license issue, they cannot hold certain positions (like director or manager) in companies that require a license. If a business allows such a person to take a leadership role, the business can face disciplinary actions.

If a business entity like a partnership or corporation does something that could get it in trouble with its license, then any members or leaders of that business who were involved in the wrongdoing can also be disciplined. This applies to partners, members, officers, directors, or managers who took part in the bad action.

This law allows a bureau to check if insulation products sold in the state meet certain standards. They do this by running regular inspections themselves or using independent labs. If they find any manufacturers, distributors, or retailers not following the rules, these parties must pay fees for the necessary inspections and tests, which are set to cover only the actual testing costs with a minimum of $200 per test or inspection. Additionally, they cannot renew a license until all fees are paid. The bureau can also order independent tests to ensure compliance with insulation standards.

This law allows the bureau to charge fees to businesses that sell or make furniture and bedding that don't meet legal standards when tested. The fees, which cover the cost of necessary inspections and tests, range from $200 to $500. If fees are not paid, they are added to the business's license renewal fee. The business can't renew its license until all fees are fully paid.

If someone breaks the rules about insulation standards or looks like they're about to, a court can step in and stop them. The court can also take steps to return any money or property gained through the violation. Government officials, like the Attorney General or district attorneys, can take legal action to stop these violations. Each violation can result in a fine up to $2,500, and each bag or packet of insulation sold against the rules is treated as a separate offense. Penalties collected are split between the state and local authorities, depending on who spearheaded the case. If the state bureau initiates the action, their investigation costs are deducted from the penalty before distribution.
