Texas Register Preamble


The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (Board) proposes the repeal of §153.24, concerning Processing a Complaint. The repeal is proposed because the subjects addressed in this section will be covered in new §153.24 the Board is simultaneously proposing. The proposed new rule, otherwise explained in this issue of the Texas Register, would more accurately and concisely describe the Standards and Enforcement Services Division's process for handling complaints and would incorporate peer investigative committee investigations into the complaint process.

Devon V. Bijansky, General Counsel, has determined that for the first five-year period the repeal is 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 proposed repeal. There is no anticipated impact on small businesses, micro-businesses or local or state employment as a result of implementing the repeal. There is no anticipated economic cost to persons who are required to comply with the proposed repeal.

Ms. Bijansky also has determined that, for each year of the first five years the repeal is in effect, the public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing the repeal will be greater clarity for the public and licensees regarding the complaint process, as well as greater efficiency through the use of peer investigative committees.

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

The repeal is proposed under the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act (Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1103), Subchapter D, Board Powers and Duties, 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 repeal.
