13 TAC §§2.120 - 2.123

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission adopts amendments to §§2.120-2.123, concerning Library Cooperation Grants-Part A, Technology, without changes to the text as published in the November 30, 2001, issue of the Texas Register (26 TexReg 9704) and will not be republished. This amendment expands the eligibility to apply for Library Cooperation Grants to include all libraries that are members of the TexShare Library Consortium.

These sections are amended to reflect the interest of TexShare member libraries that were already eligible to participate as cooperative partners in grant-funded projects, by enabling them also to serve as the lead libraries in grant projects. It opens the grant to more entities by permitting these libraries to apply under the same conditions as public libraries.

No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendments.

The amendment is adopted under the Government Code §441.006, §441.009, §441.0091, and §441.230 which provide the Commission with authority to govern the Texas State Library, initiate grant programs, and adopt administrative rules.

The amendments affect Government Code §441.006, §441.009, §441.0091, and §441.230. Library Services and Technology Act, Library Cooperation Grants- Part A, Technology, Guidelines for TexShare Libraries

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.
