13 TAC §111.14, §111.25
The State Preservation Board proposes amendments to §111.14,
concerning Events in the Capitol and Capitol Complex and §111.25, concerning
Memorials/Monuments on the Capitol Complex.
The amendment to §111.14 is necessary to allow the agency more flexibility
in providing public access to the Capitol and Capitol Extension for organized
activities. The amendment to §111.25 deletes the reference to "Permanent
Advisory Committee" as this committee has been abolished. The Board's current
administrative rule prohibits the approval of any memorials or monuments on
the historic capitol grounds. This amendment will expand the Board's flexibility
for responding to legislative directives.
Rick Crawford, Executive Director, State Preservation Board, has determined
that for the first five-year period the sections are in effect there will
be no fiscal implications for state or local government as a result of enforcing
the sections.
Mr. Crawford also has determined that for each year of the first five years
the sections are in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing
the sections will be updated regulations. The agency will be allowed more
flexibility in providing public access to the Capitol and Capitol Extension
for organized activities. The Board's flexibility will be expanded for responding
to legislative directives. There will be no effect on small businesses. There
is no anticipated economic cost to persons who are required to comply with
the sections as proposed.
Comments on the proposed amendments may be sent to: Rick Crawford, Executive
Director, State Preservation Board, P.O. Box 13286, Austin, Texas 78701.
The amendments are proposed under Texas Government Code, Chapter
443.007(b).
No other statutes, articles or codes are affected by the proposed amendments.
