concerning Program Completion and Movement of Sentenced Offenders, without
changes to the proposed text as published in the February 14, 2003 issue of

sentences qualify for release or transfer to a placement of less than high
restriction.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendment.
The amendment is adopted under the Human Resources Code, §61.075

the child's welfare and protection of the public.
The adopted rule implements the Human Resource Code, §61.034.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
