43 TAC §57.56
The Automobile Theft Prevention Authority (ATPA) proposes
amendments to §57.56, concerning General Requirements for Advisory Committees.
The proposed amendments to change the date the board's advisory committees
will be abolished in §57.56(6). The Government Code §2110.008 requires
the Authority to approve the continuation of its advisory committees and reset
the date of their abolishment, or the committees will be abolished by operation
of law. The proposed amendment to §57.56(6) changes the date to August
31, 2010. Adoption of this proposal will act as the Authority's approval of
the continuation of these committees.
Susan Sampson, Director of the ATPA, has determined that for the first
five-year period the amendments are in effect, there will be no additional
fiscal implications for state and local governments as a result of enforcing
or administering the proposed amendments.
Ms. Sampson also has determined that for each year of the first five years
the amendments are in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of
the proposed amendments will be better notice to the public as to the Authority's
continuation of its advisory committees, which assist the Authority in its
mission to prevent and reduce auto theft. There will be no economic effect
on micro or small businesses with the amendment as proposed. There is no anticipated
economic cost to persons who are required to comply with the amendments as
proposed.
Comments on the proposed amendments may be submitted to Susan Sampson,
Director, Automobile Theft Prevention Authority, 4000 Jackson Ave, Austin,
Texas 78731, for a period of 30 days from the date that the proposed action
is published in the
Texas Register
.
The amendments are proposed under Texas Civil Statutes, Article
4413(37), §6(a), which the Authority interprets as authorizing it to
adopt rules implementing its statutory powers and duties, and Government Code §2110.008,
which the Authority interprets as requiring it to set a date of abolishment
for its advisory committees or face automatic abolishment of them.
The following are the statutes, articles, or codes affected by the amendments: §57.56
- Article 4413(37), §6(a), Government Code §2110.008.
§57.56.General Requirements for Advisory Committees.

[

(7)
(No change.)
This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been
reviewed by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's legal authority
to adopt.
