31 TAC §519.8
The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board proposes
an amendment to 31 TAC §519.8 setting the maximum hourly pay rate and
annual amount that districts may pay for technicians wages or salaries in
order to be eligible for reimbursement and procedures for exceptions to the
rule.
Bobbie Stephens, Director - Administration, has determined that there will
not be any fiscal implications as a result of enforcing or administering this
rule.
There will be no effect on state government for the first five-year period
the rule will be in effect.
There will be no effect on local government for the first five-year period
the rule will be in effect.
There is no anticipated effect on small business.
Bobbie Stephens, Director - Administration, has determined that for each
year of the first five years the rule as proposed is in effect there will
be no appreciable effect on public benefit. There is no anticipated economic
cost to individuals who are required to comply with the rules.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Robert G. Buckley, Texas State
Soil and Water Conservation Board, P.O. Box 658, Temple, TX 76503.
The amendment is proposed under Chapter 201.020 Agriculture Code
which provides the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board with the
authority to adopt rules as necessary for the performance of its functions
under the Agriculture Code.
No other statutes, articles or codes are affected by this amendment.

$10.00
[

the State Board a district may exceed the maximum pay rate or maximum hours

rate or expenditures for hours over the maximum hours per week will not otherwise
be eligible for reimbursement.
