TITLE 7.BANKING AND SECURITIES

Part 1. FINANCE COMMISSION OF TEXAS

Chapter 1. CONSUMER CREDIT COMMISSIONER

Subchapter B. MISCELLANEOUS

7 TAC §§1.301 - 1.305

The Finance Commission of Texas (the commission) adopts the repeal of §§1.301 - 1.305. This repeal is adopted without changes to the proposal as published in the January 7, 2000, issue of the Texas Register (25 TexReg 20). This repeal is necessary because the sections relate to Appeal From Orders to Desist or To Refrain; Notice in Written Contracts; Annual Fee by Holders, Creditors, and Assignees; Notice and Processing Periods for Permit Applications; and Interpretations and Advisory Letters.

These sections are being reviewed and adopted with changes in a new section of the Texas Administrative Code. The subject matter of §1.301 and §1.304 is not being readopted as it is adequately covered by other rules already in effect.

The agency received no comments on the proposal.

The repeal is adopted under Texas Finance Code, §11.304, which authorizes the Finance Commission to adopt rules to enforce Title 4.

The statutory provisions (as currently in effect) affected by the adopted repeal are Texas Finance Code, Chapters 345, 347, 348, and the rest of Title 4.

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 18, 2000.

Subchapter P. REGISTRATION OF RETAIL CREDITORS

7 TAC §§1.901, 1.902, 1.911

The Finance Commission of Texas (the commission) adopts new §§1.901, 1.902, and 1.911 concerning Notice in Written Contracts; Annual Registration Fees by Holders, Creditors, and Assignees; and Interpretations and Advisory Letters. The new rules are adopted without changes to the proposal as published in the January 7, 2000, issue of the Texas Register (25 TexReg 21).

The adoption is part of a rule review conducted in accordance with HB 1, Article IX, Section 167. Simultaneously, the Finance Commission is repealing the former rules and adopting these rules in their place. The rules being repealed were reviewed and those being adopted here were evaluated and an assessment made that the reasons for (re)adopting the rule continue to exist. The primary changes from the former rules are organizational in nature or to appropriately identify the new statutory citations of the Finance Code.

The agency received no comments on the proposal.

The new sections are adopted under Texas Finance Code, §11.304, which authorizes the Finance Commission to adopt rules to enforce Title 4 of the Finance Code.

Texas Finance Code, Chapters 345, 347, and 348 as well as the remainder of Title 4 are affected by these new sections.

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.
