The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §157.15, Decision, without changes to the proposed text as published in the September 1, 2017, issue of the Texas Register (42 TexReg 4443). The amendments align this section with statutory changes adopted by the 85th Legislature.

No comments were received on the amendments as published.

The reasoned justification for the amendments is to provide clarity for license holders and to align the rule with statutory changes adopted by the 85th Legislature.

The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code §1103.151, which authorizes TALCB to adopt rules relating to certificates and licenses and §1104.051, which authorizes TALCB to adopt rules necessary to administer Chapter 1104, Texas Occupations Code.

The statutes affected by these amendments are Chapters 1103 and 1104, Texas Occupations Code. No other statute, code or article is affected by the amendments.
