22 TAC §201.3
The Texas Funeral Service Commission (Commission) adopts
an amendment to §201.3 concerning Complaints and Investigations without
changes to the proposed text as published in the December 2, 2005, issue of
the
Texas Register
(30 TexReg 7972) and will
not be republished.
The amendment is adopted because Texas Occupations Code §651.202 requires
the Commission to adopt rules concerning a complaint to include procedures
for the informal and formal hearing process that (1) provide the complainant
an opportunity to explain the allegations made in the complaint; (2) provide
to the person made the subject of the complaint an opportunity to be heard;
and (3) authorize commission staff to dismiss complaints subject to approval
by the executive director or the executive director's designee. Existing §201.3
does not outline all procedures in place.
No comments were received.
The amendment is adopted under Texas Occupations Code §651.152.
The commission interprets §651.152 as authorizing it to adopt rules as
necessary to administer Chapter 651.
No other statutes, articles, or codes are affected by the proposal.
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.
Filed with the Office of
the Secretary of State on January 13, 2006.
