the repeal of 16 Texas Administrative Code, §66.81 and §66.84 and
amendments to §66.20 and §66.80, concerning fees in the property
tax consultants program.

parts of which are being modified and moved to another section. The repeal
also removes a section concerning registration fee upgrades that is no longer
needed with the conversion from a two-year to a one-year licensure period.
Section 66.20 is amended to remove late renewal language that conflicts
with the requirements of Senate Bill 279, §1.019 and adds language directing
a registrant seeking renewal information to Subchapter H, Chapter 51. Section
66.80 is amended to convert the fees from two year to one year fees and to
add a $200 fee increase. In addition, language has been added referring to §60.83
of the Department rules for late renewal requirements and fees.
This proposal is necessary to implement Section 14 of House Bill 3442,
which requires the Department to charge a $200 professional fee for registrations
and renewals under Chapter 1152 of the Occupations Code. In addition, the
proposal is necessary to convert the registration period from two years to
one year as required by Senate Bill 279, §12.010 and §12.011. Finally,
the proposal is necessary to implement Senate Bill 279, §1.019, which
addresses provisions for establishing late renewal requirements and fees for
Department programs, including the property tax consultant program.
William H. Kuntz, Jr., Executive Director, has determined that for the
first five-year period the amendments and repeal are in effect there will
be no cost to state or local government as a result of enforcing or administering
the proposal.

period the amendments and repeal are in effect, the public benefit will be
an increase in timely license renewals for licensees under the Department's

individuals who have met the licensing requirements, including continuing
education, where applicable.
