The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) proposes amendments to §153.24, Processing a Complaint. The proposed amendments would enable the Board and the commissioner to designate a staff member to sign off on dismissals of enforcement complaints.

Devon V. Bijansky, Counsel, has determined that for the first five-year period the proposed amendments are in effect, there will be no fiscal implications for the state or for units of local government as a result of enforcing or administering the amendments. There is no anticipated impact on local or state employment as a result of implementing the amendments. There is no anticipated impact on small businesses or micro-businesses as a result of implementing the amendments. There is no anticipated economic cost to persons who are required to comply with the amendments.

Ms. Bijansky has also determined that the anticipated public benefit as a result of these amendments is greater efficiency in TALCB's enforcement processes.

Comments on the proposed amendments may be submitted to Devon V. Bijansky, Counsel for the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board, P.O. Box 12188, Austin, Texas 78711-2188.

The amendments are proposed under the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act, Subchapter D, Board Powers and Duties (Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1103), which provides the board with authority to adopt rules under §1103.151, Rules Relating to Certificates and Licenses and §1103.154, Rules Relating to Professional Conduct.

The statute affected by this proposal is Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1103. No other statute, code, or article is affected by the proposed amendments.
