The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (the Department) filed a notice of intent to review and consider for re-adoption, revision, or repeal, Title 16, Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 80, Licensed Court Interpreters in accordance with the requirements of Texas Government Code, §2001.039. The Notice of Intent to Review was published in the March 31, 2006, issue of the Texas Register (31 TexReg 2883).

In accordance with the requirements of Texas Government Code, §2001.039, the Department reviewed the administrative rules of 16 TAC Chapter 80, Licensed Court Interpreters, to determine if the rules were obsolete, reflect current legal and policy considerations, and reflect current procedures of the Department.

The Department's review determined that the reasons for initially adopting the rules continue to exist. The rules continue to be essential in implementing the provisions of Texas Government Code, Chapter 57; and the Department recommends to the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation (Commission) the re-adoption of Chapter 80. Based on the Department's review, however, the Department proposes that amendments be made which may be helpful in clarifying statutory and administrative rule requirements and bring them more in line with current law and Department procedures.

Proposed changes to these rules as a result of the rule review will be published in the Proposed Rules Section of the Texas Register . The proposed rules will be open for public comment prior to final adoption or repeal by the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001.

The Notice of Intent to Review was published in the March 31, 2006, issue of the Texas Register and distributed to persons internal and external to the agency. The public comment period closed on May 1, 2006. Four comments were received in response to the Notice of Intent to Review.

Three of the commenters urged the repeal of the license requirement for interpreters. Making this change would require action by the Texas Legislature and thus will not be addressed as part of the Department's rule review. One commenter suggested postponing the effective date of the continuing education requirement. The Department is considering whether to file proposed rules to delay the continuing education requirement.

The rules are re-adopted by the Commission in accordance with Texas Government Code, §2001.039. This concludes the review of 16 TAC, Chapter 80, Licensed Court Interpreters.
