The repeal aligns the rules with statutory changes in HB 2279 adopted by the 85th Legislature to be effective January 1, 2018. The subject matter of this rule was moved to section 539.91 dealing with all reports for greater clarity.

No comments were received on the repeal as published.

The reasoned justification for the repeal is to align the rule with recent statutory changes.

The statute affected by this repeal is Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1303. No other statute, code or article is affected by the proposed repeal.
