PART 11. TEXAS BOARD OF NURSING
CHAPTER 217. LICENSURE, PEER ASSISTANCE AND PRACTICE
The Texas Board of Nursing (BON) adopts without changes an amendment to 22 Texas Administrative Code §217.20 (Safe Harbor Peer Review), which was proposed and published in the June 6, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 4449).
The adopted amendment to §217.20 corrects the name of the title to this section. When the rule was originally adopted and published in the May 2, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 3632), the title was "Safe Harbor Peer Review," but it should have been "Safe Harbor Peer Review for Nurses and Whistleblower Protections."
No comments were received regarding adoption of this amendment.
The adoption is pursuant to the authority of Texas Occupations Code, §301.151 and §301.152, which authorize the BON to adopt, enforce, and repeal rules consistent with its statutory authority under the Nursing Practice Act.
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.
Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on July 9, 2008.
