Title 22, Part 22
In accordance with the Appropriations Act of 1997, H.B. I, Article IX,
Section 167, the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy adopts the reviews
of Chapters 503, 505, 507, 509, 511, 513, 515, 517, 519, 521, 523, 525, 526
and 527 of Title 22 Texas Administrative Code. The Board published its reviews
of these chapters in the April 9 and August 13, 1999 issues of the Texas Register,
(24 TexReg 2957 and 6219).
The Appropriations Act of 1997 required that every agency review each of
its rules to determine at a minimum whether the reason for the adoption of
the rule continues to exist. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
the Board developed a list of questions and considerations it used to guide
its rule review. These considerations included an analysis of whether each
rule is needed for fair administration and just enforcement of the Public
Accountancy Act and whether the rule reflects current Board policy and current
legal interpretations of the Act.
As a result of conducting its review of these chapters, the Board has proposed
and/or adopted amendments to or repeals of approximately 380 rules. Each of
these amendments and repeals has been published in the Texas Register in accordance
with the Administrative Procedure Act. The Board finds that the reasons for
adopting those of its rules for which no amendments or repeals have been proposed
in the course of its review continue to exist.
