The Health and Human Services Commission adopts new §351.11 without changes to the proposed text published in the October 2, 1998, issue of the Texas Register (23 TexReg 9880).

The new rule clarifies the information to be included in the quarterly report and the report format used by the executive head of each health and human services agency to the governing body of that agency and to the Health and Human Services Commission on that agency's efforts to streamline and simplify the delivery of services.

The commission received no comments regarding adoption of the new rule.

This new rule is adopted under the Texas Government Code, §531.033, which authorizes the Commissioner of Health and Human Services to adopt rules necessary to carry out the Commission's duties under Chapter 531.
