Texas citizens through the development and enforcement of recognized
professional standards for individuals and the fire service. To achieve
the goals of TCFP, each committee will evaluate, make recommendations,
and issue reports to the Commission on any issue in the committee's
purview. Committees shall represent TCFP in advocacy for or opposition
to projects and issues upon the specific authority of the Commission
or such authority as may be clearly granted upon general powers delegated
by the Commission to that committee. In this Chapter, "Commission"
refers to the governing body, and TCFP refers to the state agency.

four years from the date of creation and may be continued following
a vote of the Commission, to extend each of the established committees.
The Commission may create short-term Ad Hoc working groups for specific
purposes in accordance with this rule. The committee's purpose, eligibility,
terms, and meeting procedures are identified in this rule.
