22 TAC §661.45
The Texas Board of Professional Land Surveying adopts an
amendment to §661.45, concerning examinations, without changes to the
proposed text as published in the March 17, 2000, issue of the
Texas Register
(25 TexReg 2287) and will not be republished.
The section is adopted to bring the section into conformance with national
testing standards.
The following comment was received:
"The original rule had the term "intent to compromise the confidentiality
of the examination", which I interpreted as wholesale copying of the exam.
I have never seen anything wrong with one of my employees coming back from
taking the test and asking me how I would answer a particular question. He
may learn something or I might! The new language requiring the candidate from
divulging any problem or solution doesn't make sense. What are you afraid
of?"
The Board did not alter the rule in response to the comment.
The amendment is adopted under Texas Civil Statutes, Article
5282c, §9, which provides the Texas Board of Professional Land Surveying
with the authority to make and enforce all reasonable and necessary rules,
regulations and bylaws not inconsistent with the Texas Constitution, the laws
of this state, and this 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 April 17, 2000.
