CHAPTER 122. TEMPORARY USE OF STATE BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS BY TELEVISION OR FILM PRODUCTION COMPANIES
The Office of the Governor, Texas Film Commission (Commission) adopts an amendment to §122.2, the definitions for Chapter 122; an amendment to §122.4, concerning a projects ineligibility to use a state property for production activity; and an amendment to §122.7, concerning an Applicant's responsibilities. These rules are adopted without changes to the proposed text as published in the June 6, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 4442) and will not be republished.
The amendments add language to §122.2(11) and §122.7(d) to clarify the responsibilities of a production company wishing to use a state property. The amendment to §122.4(a)(2) clarifies how an Applicant would be ineligible to use a state property. Legislation enacted in 2007 set forth these guidelines and established the oversight by the Texas Film Commission for the use of the state property.
The amendments provide a clearer understanding of how state property may be used for production activity and how the use of state property will be administered by the Commission.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendments.
The amendments are adopted pursuant to the Texas Government Code §2165.008 which directs the Commission to develop procedures to allow production companies to use state property for production activity, and Government Code, Chapter 2001, Subchapter B which prescribes the standards for rulemaking by state agencies.
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.
