Part II. Texas Education Agency

Chapter 157. Hearings and Appeals

Subchapter B. Hearings Held Under the Texas Proprietary School Act

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.
