Texas Register Preamble


The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board proposes a new rule §153.24, concerning Processing a Complaint. Rather than having to wait for a Board or Enforcement Committee meeting to close a complaint, the new rule §153.24 authorizes the Commissioner to dismiss a complaint received by the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board that is not within the Board's jurisdiction or a complaint without merit. The new rule also streamlines the complaint process by reducing the number of days it takes to close a complaint.

Wayne Thorburn, Commissioner, Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board, has determined that for the first five-year period the new rule is in effect there will be no fiscal implications for state or local government as a result of enforcing or administering the new rule.

Mr. Thorburn also has determined that for each year of the first five years the new rule is in effect, the public benefit anticipated as a result of these changes is the ability to close a complaint in a more timely manner. There will be no effect on small or micro-businesses. There is no effect on individuals who are required to comply with the new rule as proposed.

Comments on the proposal may be submitted Wayne Thorburn, Commissioner, Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board, P.O. Box 12188, Austin, Texas 78711-2188.

The new rule is proposed under the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act, Subchapter D, Board Powers and Duties (Occupations Code, Chapter 1103), which provides the board with authority to adopt rules under §1103.151, Rules Relating to Certification and Licenses.

No other code, article, or statute is affected by this proposal.
