25 TAC §§701.2, 701.4-701.8
The Texas Cancer Council adopts amendments to §§701.2,
701.4-701.8 concerning the
Texas Cancer Plan
,
committees, the executive director, meetings, actions requiring Council approval,
and charges for copies of public records without changes to the proposed text
as published in the December 25, 1998, issue of the
Texas Register
(23 TexReg 13008) and will not be republished.
The amendments were proposed because:
In §701.2 Texas Cancer Plan, the amendment cites the codified version
of the Administrative Procedures Act, because the Act no longer appears in
the civil statutes previously cited. The language of the Act will be easier
to locate by citing the codified version.
In §701.4 Committees, the language was changed to clarify the intent
of the Council that the Council has the final decision-making authority over
any actions taken by the executive committee. The language of subsection (b)(3)
was changed to clarify the role of committee members that are not Council
members.
In §701.5 Executive Director, the Executive Director is delegated
the authority to transfer funds within the budget in order to facilitate quick
decision making in the approval of payment for certain items.
In §701.6 Meetings, the amendment clarifies the committee meetings
are subject to the Open Meetings Act. The rule cites the codified version
of the Open Meetings Act, because the cited Act no longer appears in the civil
statutes previously cited. The language of the Act will be easier to locate
by citing the codified version. The amendment deletes unnecessary language
from the rule that merely restates the language of the Act. The amendment
which deletes subsection (i) releases the Council from the requirement that
it follow Roberts' Rules of Order in conducting Council meetings to allow
the Council flexibility to address matters as the Council deems appropriate.
In §701.7 Actions Requiring Council Approval, the Council deems it
appropriate for the executive director to establish internal administrative
personnel procedures and policies to carry out the functions of the Council
without requiring Council approval, unless the Council specifically requests
it.
In §701.8 Charges for Copies of Public Records, the language was changed
to specify the effective date of the rules the Council will follow in assessing
charges for copies. This will help to ensure that the Council can identify
the rules that they are required to follow.
No comments were received regarding the proposal of the amendments.
The amendments are adopted under the authority of the Texas Health
and Safety Code Annotated, §§102.002 and 102.009 which provide the
Texas Cancer Council with the authority to develop and implement the

codified and no longer appears in the civil statutes. The language of the
statute will be easier to locate by citing the codified version.
