22 TAC §233.1
The Board of Nurse Examiners adopts on an emergency basis
amendments to §223.1, concerning Fees. The board met January 21-22, 1999
and approved to increase fees to fund the Board's appropriation, rider 1,
object code 3560 and to add that all fees are non-refundable.
The increase was assessed to cover new budget items approved by the 75th
Legislative Session.
The amendments are adopted on an emergency basis under the Nursing
Practice Act, (Texas Civil Statutes), Article 4514, §1, which provides
the Board of Nurse Examiners with the authority and power to make and enforce
all rules and regulations necessary for the performance of its duties and
conducting of proceedings before it and Article 4527, §1, which permits
the Board to establish reasonable and necessary fees so that the fees, in
the aggregate, produce sufficient revenue to cover the cost of administering
this chapter.
