19 TAC §157.21
The Texas Workforce Commission (Commission) adopts the repeal
of 19 TAC §157.21, concerning Hearings Held under the Texas Proprietary
School Act, without changes to the proposed text as published in the October
30, 1998 issue of the
Texas Register
(23 TexReg
11036).
The purpose of the repeal is to remove an obsolete rule from the Texas
Administrative Code. The Proprietary School program was transferred to the
Commission from the Texas Education Agency pursuant to the 74th Legislature,
Regular Session, Chapter 655, §11.03. The Commission has adopted 40 TAC
Chapter 823 regarding General Hearings as the procedure applicable to proprietary
school hearings, which made the older Texas Education Agency rule, §157.21,
obsolete.
The Commission received no comments on the proposed repeal.
The repeal of the rule is adopted under Texas Labor Code, §301.061
and §302.021, which provides the Commission with the authority to adopt,
amend, or repeal such rules as it deems necessary for the effective administration
of the Commission's programs.
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.
Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on December
17, 1998.
