* Would a different format (grouping and order of sections, use of headings, paragraphing) make the rule easier to understand? If so, what changes to the format would make the rule easier to understand?
* Would more (but shorter) sections be better in any of the rules? If so, what sections should be changed?
Any proposed changes to these rules as a result of the rule review will be published in the Proposed Rule Section of the Texas Register . The proposed rules will be open for public comment prior to final adoption by the Commission.
