RULES RELATING TO PROVISIONS OF THE TEXAS APPRAISER LICENSING AND CERTIFICATION ACT
22 TAC §153.5
The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board proposes
an amendment to §153.5, Fees. This amendment will add §153.5(a)(11)
to provide for an additional $10 renewal fee for general certified and residential
certified appraisers in order to comply with on-line renewal provisions as
mandated by SB-187 and SB-645, 77th Legislature, 2001. The additional $10
fee is required of all certified general and certified residential appraisers
whether or not they renew on-line.
Renil C. Liner, Commissioner, Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification
Board, has determined that for the first five-year period the amendment is
in effect, there will be no fiscal implications for state or local government.
Mr. Liner also has determined that for each year of the first five years
this amendment is in effect, the public benefit anticipated as a result of
enforcing the amendment will be a more efficient and convenient renewal of
general and residential certifications. There will be no effect on small businesses,
other than appraisal businesses that are owned by or employ general certified
or residential certified appraisers. The anticipated economic cost to persons
who are required to comply with the amendment as proposed is an additional
$10 renewal fee for each two-year renewal.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted Renil C. Liner, Commissioner,
Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board, P.O. Box 12188, Austin,
Texas 78711-2188.

to adopt rules.

LICENSURE AND REGULATION OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPISTS
The Texas State Board of Examiners of Marriage and Family Therapists
(board) proposes amendments to §§801.2, 801.15, 801.19, 801.232,
801.265, and 801.300 concerning the licensure and regulation of marriage and
family therapists. Specifically the amendments cover supervision hours, impartiality
and nondiscrimination, fees, continuing education sponsors, surrender of license
because of student loan default and suspension of a license for failure to
be in compliance with child custody orders.
The amendments are pursuant to statutorial changes made to the Texas Occupations
Code, Chapter 502, during the 77th Legislative Session. These amendments require
that genetic information not be used in the discharge of statutory authority;
examination fees will be in accordance with current contracted rate; continuing
education sponsors will be required to renew annually, licenses will be surrendered
in cases of student loan defaults and a reinstatement fee must be paid, and
suspension of license due to noncompliance with child custody orders.
Bobby D. Schmidt, Executive Director, for the board, has determined that
for each year of the first five-year period the sections will be in effect,
fiscal implications for state government are anticipated to be negligible.
Revenues generated from licensing fees will offset the costs and process of
administering the program. There will be no fiscal implications for local
government.
Mr. Schmidt also has determined that for each year of the first five years
the sections are in effect, the public benefit as a result of enforcing or
administering the sections will be to insure the appropriate regulation of
marriage and family therapists. There is no anticipated cost to micro or small
businesses or persons who are required to comply with the sections as proposed.
An increase in cost will affect individuals who default on their student loans,
and are required to pay a $40 reinstatement fee and continuing education sponsors
who will renew every year instead of every three years. There is no anticipated
impact on local employment.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Bobby D. Schmidt, Executive
Director, Texas State Board of Examiners of Marriage and Family Therapists,
1100 West 49th Street, Austin, Texas 78756-3183, Telephone (512) 834-6657.
Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the date of publication of
this proposal in the
Texas Register
