Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) policy and procedure to the proposed text
as published in the November 17, 2000 issue of the

of this program is to promote full and equal business opportunities for all
businesses in Department contracting in accordance with the goals specified
in the State of Texas Disparity Study.
No comments were received on the proposed rule.
The new section is adopted under the Texas Government Code §2306.053,

the authority to promulgate rules consistent with the Code. No other code,
article or statute is affected by the proposed action.
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.
