Part 17. TEXAS STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION BOARD
Chapter 519. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
Subchapter A. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) adopts an amendment to §519.9 to make the rule consistent with appropriation restrictions concerning how the agency is required to disburse state funds to soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs). The amendment is adopted without change to the proposed text as published in the October 20, 2006, issue of the Texas Register (31 TexReg 8618) and will not be republished. The section brings agency procedures into compliance with appropriations directives.
The section establishes that the TSSWCB will provide notice to SWCDs of the amount allocated to them rather than cause 25 percent of their allocation to be sent to them at the beginning of the fiscal year and provides that the funds will be paid on a reimbursement basis.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendment.
The amendment is adopted under the Agriculture Code of Texas, title 7, Chapter 201, §201.020, which authorizes the TSSWCB to adopt rules that are necessary for the performance of its functions under the Agriculture Code.
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.
