Part 17.
TEXAS STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION BOARD
Chapter 525.
AUDIT REQUIREMENTS FOR SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICTS
Subchapter A. AUDITS OF DISTRICTS
The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board proposes the repeal
31 TAC §525.8, and simultaneously proposes new §525.8, defining
guidelines for audit and financial reporting by Soil and Water Conservation
Districts. The proposed rule explains the compliance contingencies of audit
and financial statement reporting to the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation
Board by Soil and Water Conservation Districts.
The repeal of §525.8 is due to a publication error in the
Texas Register
dated January 4, 2002. In that issue the body of §525.9
was duplicated in §525.8.
Bobbie Stephens, Assistant Executive Director Administration, has determined
that there will not be any fiscal implications as a result of enforcing or
administering this rule.
There will be no effect on state government for the first five-year period
the rule will be in effect.
There will be no effect on local government for the first five-year period
the rule will be in effect.
There is no anticipated effect on small business.
Bobbie Stephens, Assistant Executive Director Administration, has determined
that for each year of the first five years the rule as proposed is in effect,
the reporting requirements and penalties for lack of, will assist the Texas
State Soil and Water Conservation Board in monitoring fund usage by the districts
and assist Soil and Water Conservation Districts in monitoring funds. There
is no anticipated economic cost to individuals who are required to comply
with the rule.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Robert G. Buckley, Texas State
Soil and Water Conservation Board, P.O. Box 658, Temple, TX 76503.
