The Department conducted a thorough review of Chapter 80 to determine whether the rules were obsolete, whether the rules reflected current legal and policy considerations, and whether the rules reflected current procedures of the Department.

The Department did not receive comments specifically related to the rule review; however, the Department did receive comments in the public comment period during the proposed rule making process.

The public comments are addressed with the adopted amendments that are published in the November 11, 2005, issue of the Texas Register (30 TexReg 7434) and the December 30, 2005, issue of the Texas Register (30 TexReg 8871).

The Department has determined that the rules, as amended, are essential in accomplishing the provisions of Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1201. The rules are readopted with changes in accordance with Texas Government Code, §2001.039.
