AGENCY AND FACILITY RESPONSIBILITIES
Subchapter S. NEGOTIATION AND MEDIATION OF CERTAIN CONTRACT CLAIMS AGAINST TDMHMR
The Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation (TDMHMR)
adopts new §§417.901 - 417.925 of new Chapter 417, Subchapter S,
concerning negotiation and mediation of certain contract claims against TDMHMR,
without changes to the proposed text as published in the November 10, 2000,
issue of the
Texas Register
(25TexReg11237-11241).
Texas Government Code, §2260.052(c) requires that the units of state
government with rulemaking authority adopt rules to establish provisions for
negotiation and mediation of certain breach of contract claims asserted by
contractors against the State of Texas. Section 2260.052(c) directs the Office
of the Attorney General (OAG) and the State Office of Administrative Hearings
(SOAH) to provide model rules for negotiation and mediation that units of
state government with rulemaking authority may voluntarily adopt or modify
as they deem appropriate. The new rules are a modified version of the model
rules provided by the OAG and the SOAH.
No written comment on the proposal was received.
