Subchapter L. Protest Procedures for Vendors

31 TAC §53.70

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in a regularly scheduled public hearing held November 5, 1998 adopted new §53.70 concerning protest procedures for vendors without changes to the proposed text as published in the October 2, 1998 issue of the Texas Register (23 TexReg 9946).

The adopted new section provides an opportunity for vendors to administratively process protests of department procedures relating to purchasing issues.

The new section was required as a result of changes to Government Code §2155.076 which requires the department as a state agency to adopt rules for resolving vendor protests relating to purchasing issues

The department received no public comments concerning the proposed new rules.

The new section is adopted under Government Code §2155.076.

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 February 10, 1999.
