22 TAC §599.7
The Texas Structural Pest Control Board adopts an amendment
to §599.7, concerning Posting Notice of Inspection, with changes to
the proposed text as published in the July 19, 1996, issue of the
Texas Register
(21 TexReg 6764).
The justification for the rule establishes the criteria for when and how
notices of wood destroying insect inspections are to be posted.
The rule will function in that the amendment will require a notice of
inspection sticker any time the Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report
is completed in conjunction with the inspection.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendment.
There were no groups or associations making comments for or against this
rule.
The Amendment is adopted under Article 135b-6, which provides
the Texas Structural Pest Control Board with the authority to license and
regulate structural pest control services.
§599.7. Posting Notice of Inspection.
(a)
Upon completion of an inspection for the purposes of completing
the SPCB/T-2 Form, the inspector shall post a durable sign adjacent to the
hot water heater or electric breaker box or beneath the kitchen sink giving
the name and address of the licensee, the date of the inspection or treatment,
and a statement that the notice should not be removed.
(b)
It will be a violation of this section for any licensee
of the Board to remove or deface a posted inspection notice.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
Issued in Austin, Texas, on January 2, 1997.
