(Editor's note: The text of the following sections proposed for
repeal will not be published. The sections may be examined in the offices
of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice or in the Texas Register office,
Room 245, James Earl Rudder Building, 1019 Brazos Street, Austin.)
The Board of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
proposes to repeal 37 TAC 160, Receipt and Disbursement of Work Program Residents'
Earned Funds, and all subsections from §§160.1 to 160.8. The purpose
of the repeal deletes language that describes a practice that is obsolete
and no longer within the agency's authority.
Brad Livingston, Chief Financial Officer for TDCJ, has determined that
for the first five years the rule will be in effect, enforcing or administering
the rule does not have foreseeable implications related to costs or revenues
for state or local government. Mr. Livingston has also determined that there
will be no economic impact on persons required to comply with the rule, and
that the public benefit expected as a result of the proposed rule is the increased
opportunity for public discourse on issues relevant to the Texas Department
of Criminal Justice.
Comments should be directed to Carl Reynolds, General Counsel, Texas Department
of Criminal Justice, P.O. Box 13084, Austin, Texas 78711, Carl.Reynolds@tdcj.state.tx.us.
Written comments from the general public should be received within 30 days
of the publication of this proposal.
The repeal is proposed under Texas Government Code, §492.010.
