43 TAC §§57.3, 57.42, 57.56
The Automobile Theft Prevention Authority (ATPA) adopts amendments
to §57.3 and §57.42 to update the reference to the ATPA's address
and telephone number and to change the date the board's Advisory Committees
will be abolished in §57.56. The amendments are adopted, without change
to the proposed version, which was published in the
Texas Register
, on March 1, 2002 (27 TexReg. 1472). The text of the
adopted rules will not be republished. The purpose of the amendments is to
update the reference to the ATPA's address and telephone number and change
the date the board's Advisory Committees will be abolished. The Government
Code §2110.008 requires the Authority to approve the continuation of
its advisory committees and reset the date of their abolishment, or the committees
will be abolished by operation of law, every four years. The amendment to §57.56
changes the date of abolishment to August 31, 2006. Adoption of this proposal
will act as the Authority's approval of the continuation of these committees.
No written comments were received regarding adoption of the amendments.
The amendments are adopted under Texas Civil Statutes, Article
4413(37), §6(a), which the Authority interprets as authorizing it to
adopt rules implementing its statutory powers and duties, and Government Code §2110.008,
which the Authority interprets as requiring it to set a date of abolishment
for its advisory committees or face automatic abolishment of them.
The following are the statutes, articles, or codes affected by the amendments: §§57.3,
57.42 -Article 4413 (37), §6(a) §57.56-Article 4413(37), §6(a),
Government Code §2110.008
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.
